In _pnfs_return_layout: lrp pointer is checked for NULL after it was already accessed. The rational here is that in _pnfs_return_layout we want to de-ref and release the layout regardless of if we sent the return or not (forgetfull). An eventual recall can return -ENOMATCHING instead of -EDELAY. So to keep the reasoning above, copy the stateid twice. Benny if it is OK to not release the layout on -ENOMEM then the check could just be moved above the spin_lock(), and the put_layout_hdr removed.
