Looks like a typo in my patch "NFSv41: Fix a memory leak in
nfs41_proc_async_sequence()". I'll squash your patch into that. Please
note that you will have to rebase if you try to pull the nfs-for-2.6.36
branch again.

Now.... With that said, do we really need to allow RPC calls to call
nfs41_setup_sequence with an initialised slotid? This initialisation is
a serious hassle, and is easy to forget.
When do we expect to end up hitting the res.sr_slotid !=
NFS4_MAX_SLOT_TABLE condition in real life?
