It caught my eye that this function has never actually returned anything
but 0 before....

But OK I don't think there's a problem there: it could already fail to
reclaim individual locks due to allocation or other failures, and could
fail to run entirely if kthread_run failed.

But maybe we should log the same "Locks for %s won't be reclaimed!"
error in this case that we would in the case the kthread_run() in
nlmclnt_recovery fails.
