Thanks for the report. This looks like a client-side regression in
v4.18. On a hunch, I just backed out this patch and it seems to fix the
problem:

    commit a3cf9bca2ace0351c4a4c17fbca4d652c323d5e5
    Author: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx>
    Date:   Thu May 3 07:12:57 2018 -0400

        NFSv4: Don't add a new lock on an interrupted wait for LOCK

Ben, can you take a look?
