From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b4e4f66901658fae0614dea5bf91062a5387eda7 ] If the state manager thread fails to start, then we should just mark the client initialisation as failed so that other processes or threads don't get stuck in nfs_wait_client_init_complete().
