I don't see that problem. nfs4_state_shutdown gets called when the
nfsd_serv is torn down, and it only gets brought up in nfsd_svc, so as
far as I can tell it'll always be up as long as there are nfsd kthreads
running.

I should make it clear that this patch is just a prerequisite for the
following patches. I don't know of a way to trigger this oops with the
existing code, but if we call svc_destroy from the write_ports
codepaths like I'm proposing then it can happen.
