I read these 2 comments as "more comments are needed" but I'm failing
to see what is not obvious about knowing that nothing can be running
because in the beginning of the function nfsd_mutex was acquired? And
there is already a comment in the quoted code.

I have contemplated that instead of introducing a new function into
code that isn't NFS (ie llist.h), perhaps we re-write the
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() to remove all from the existing transports
from lists (permsocks and sp_xprts) and create all new instead? But it
does seem an overkill for simply needing to remove something from the
list instead.
