nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed can be called from the filecache laundrette, which is shut down after the nfsd threads are shut down and the nfsd_serv pointer is cleared. If nn->nfsd_serv is NULL then there are no threads to wake. Ensure that the nn->nfsd_serv pointer is non-NULL before calling svc_wake_up in nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed. This is safe since the svc_serv is not freed until after the filecache laundrette is cancelled.
