Don't assign an error pointer to cld_net->cn_tfm, otherwise an oops will occur in nfsd4_remove_cld_pipe(). Also, move the initialization of cld_net->cn_tfm so that it occurs after the check to see if nfsdcld is running. This is necessary because nfsd4_client_tracking_init() looks for -ETIMEDOUT to determine whether to use the "old" nfsdcld tracking ops.
