Something is trivially weird

fs/lockd/clntxdr.c:226 is in this static function:
	encode_nlm_stat()

encode_nlm_stat() is called in two places
	static void nlm_xdr_enc_res(...)
  and
	static void nlm_xdr_enc_testres(...)

But these two are not called anywhere. In-fact a Kernel wide grep
returns a single occurrence of both

I suspect the BUG_ON() belongs else where.
Perhaps we should add __func__ to the BUG_ON macro exactly for times
that source and Kernel get out of sync.
