Hmm, I'm afraid there's a race here since potentially
you could take the reference on the file after it has been freed.
find_file should call get_nfs4_file if and only if it's still hashed,
i.e. atomically with looking it up on the list.
On the same lines, the lock should be taken in put_nfs4_file
rather than in free_nfs4_file.
That being said, I'm not sure we're unhashing the file in the right
place... it's too late for me right now but my hunch is that open
should alloc_init the nfs4_file as done today and close should unhash
it (under the recall spinlock), and then put it.
put_nfs4_file can stay the same and free_nfs4_file should just do the
iput and kmem_cache_free.
The main difference is that find_file will fail finding the nfs4_file
struct after close. (get_nfs4_file in find_file should still happen
under the lock though)
