Thank goodness for my OC commenting in the BZ I was using to track this!

IIRC, there is a chicken and egg problem with refcounting -- at
least in the code at the time that I did this. If there is still
an active grant callback in queue at the time that nlm_shutdown_hosts
is called, the h_count will stay high and nlm_destroy_host won't be
called. This can happen if we try to bring down lockd while trying to
do a grant callback to an unresponsive client.
