5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f49169c97fceb21ad6a0aaf671c50b0f520f15a5 ]
struct svc_serv_ops is about to be removed.
Neil Brown says:
> I suspect svo_module can go as well - I don't think the thread is
> ever the thing that primarily keeps a module active.
A random sample of kthread_create() callers shows sunrpc is the only
one that manages module reference count in this way.
