Subject: nfsd: don't try to reuse an expired DRC entry off the list
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a0ef5e19684f0447da9ff0654a12019c484f57ca upstream.
Currently when we are processing a request, we try to scrape an expired
or over-limit entry off the list in preference to allocating a new one
from the slab.
This is unnecessarily complicated. Just use the slab layer.
