    lockd: move svc_exit_thread() into the thread
    
    [ Upstream commit 6a4e2527a63620a820c4ebf3596b57176da26fb3 ]
    
    The normal place to call svc_exit_thread() is from the thread itself
    just before it exists.
    Do this for lockd.
    
    This means that nlmsvc_rqst is not used out side of lockd_start_svc(),
    so it can be made local to that function, and renamed to 'rqst'.
