It looks like we have a more fundamental problem that
nfsd41_cb_setup_sequence is not called on the retry path
meaning that not only the message isn't reinitialized properly
but the single slot is not allocated as it should.
Boaz, I think you saw multiple callbacks going out concurrently, right?

rpc_restart_call_prepare() should be called instead of rpc_restart_call()
