Lockdep is sad otherwise, because inode mutex is taken on PipeFS dentry

Note: I used simple mutex instead of rw semaphore because of
nfs_put_client->atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() call. Probably, there is a better
solution here.

This is overkill... We end up blocking NFSv4 callbacks while the
rpc_pipefs notifier runs through the nfs_clients creating or destroying
idmapper dentries.

Surely the rpc_pipefs_event() can take a reference to the nfs_client and
then drop the spin_lock if it sees that it needs to create or destroy a
dentry?


Sure, thanks for notice.
Looks like this logic also works to SUNRPC clients.
I'll send updated version soon.
