4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cb7d224f82e41d82518e7f9ea271d215d4d08e6e upstream. If the lockd service fails to start up then we need to be sure that the notifier blocks are not registered, otherwise a subsequent start of the service could cause the same notifier to be registered twice, leading to soft lockups.
