Thanks. I will wrapper it so that callers don't need to access
pnfsiod_workqueue directly. And what kind of checks do you suggest? It
seems to me that there is no race of queuing tasks with
pnfsiod_workqueue. The only race is between create/destroy because
both block and object need it but we only want to have one pnfs
private workqueue.

My understanding is that the critical section doesn't need to sleep
and is short enough. Also it is only executed in module load/unload.
So I think reusing an existing spinlock will make life much easier
than creating a new mutex just for it.
