NeilBrown aaf68cfbf2 [PATCH] knfsd: fix a race in closing NFSd connections
If you lose this race, it can iput a socket inode twice and you get a BUG
in fs/inode.c

When I added the option for user-space to close a socket, I added some
cruft to svc_delete_socket so that I could call that function when closing
a socket per user-space request.

This was the wrong thing to do.  I should have just set SK_CLOSE and let
normal mechanisms do the work.

Not only wrong, but buggy.  The locking is all wrong and it openned up a
race where-by a socket could be closed twice.

So this patch:
  Introduces svc_close_socket which sets SK_CLOSE then either leave
  the close up to a thread, or calls svc_delete_socket if it can
  get SK_BUSY.

  Adds a bias to sk_busy which is removed when SK_DEAD is set,
  This avoid races around shutting down the socket.

  Changes several 'spin_lock' to 'spin_lock_bh' where the _bh
  was missing.
