nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds clp->cl_lock when it calls check_for_locks(). However, check_for_locks() calls nfsd_file_get() / nfsd_file_put() to access the backing inode's flc_posix list, and nfsd_file_put() can sleep if the inode was recently removed. Instead, use the recently introduced counter field in struct nfs4_lockowner that keeps track of how many locks are associated with that lock owner.
