Sourbh reported an oops that is triggerable by trying to read the pool_stats procfile before nfsd had been started. Move the check for a NULL serv in svc_pool_stats_start above the mutex acquisition, and fix the stop routine not to unlock the mutex if there is no serv yet. Fixes: 7b207ccd9833 ("svc: don't hold reference for poolstats, only mutex.")
