sk_lock can be taken while reclaiming memory (in nfsd for loop-back
NFS mounts, and presumably in nfs), and memory can be allocated while
holding sk_lock, at least via:
inet_listen -> inet_csk_listen_start ->reqsk_queue_alloc
So to avoid deadlocks, always set PF_FSTRANS while holding sk_lock.
This deadlock was found by lockdep.
