Currently nfsd4_state_shrinker_worker can be schduled multiple times
from nfsd4_state_shrinker_count when memory is low. This causes
the WARN_ON_ONCE in __queue_delayed_work to trigger.

This patch allows only one instance of nfsd4_state_shrinker_worker
at a time using the nfsd_shrinker_active flag, protected by the
client_lock.

Replace mod_delayed_work with queue_delayed_work since we
don't expect to modify the delay of any pending work.

Is this extra machinery really necessary? The bool and spinlock don't
seem to be needed. Typically there is no issue with calling
queued_delayed_work when the work is already queued. It just returns
false in that case without doing anything.
When there are multiple calls to mod_delayed_work/queue_delayed_work
we hit the WARN_ON_ONCE's in __queue_delayed_work and __queue_work if
the work is queued but not execute yet.
The delay argument of zero is interesting. If it's set to a value
greater than zero, do you still see a problem?

I tried and tried but could not reproduce the problem that Mike
reported. I guess my VMs don't have fast enough cpus to make it
happen.

As Jeff mentioned, delay 0 should be safe and we want to run
the shrinker as soon as possible when memory is low.

This problem was reported by Mike. I initially tried with only the
bool but that was not enough that was why the spinlock was added.
Mike verified that the patch fixed the problem.
