Thank you for fixing these up!
This looks good at the moment, however, the sparse changes that Arnd
Bergmann is working on will invalidate a couple of the changes below.
Of course, better a future problem than a here-and-now problem, but
is there an easy way to fix both?
Thanx, Paul

Arnd's work will flag this one.

And this one. I thought that Trond said that clp->cl_lock protects
this one, in which case this should work:
if (rcu_dereference_check(nfsi->delegation,
lockdep_is_held(&clp->cl_lock)) != NULL) {

And this one, although the check for cp->cl_lock obviously won't work here.
