NFSD: Mark filecache "down" if init fails
[ Upstream commit dc0d0f885aa422f621bc1c2124133eff566b0bc8 ]
NeilBrown says:
> The handling of NFSD_FILE_CACHE_UP is strange. nfsd_file_cache_init()
> sets it, but doesn't clear it on failure. So if nfsd_file_cache_init()
> fails for some reason, nfsd_file_cache_shutdown() would still try to
> clean up if it was called.
