Subject: [PATCH] NFS: make nfs_match_client killable

Actually we don't do anything with return value from
nfs_wait_client_init_complete in nfs_match_client, as a
consequence if we get a fatal signal and client is not
fully initialised, we'll loop to "again" label

This has been proven to cause soft lockups on some scenarios
(no-carrier but configured network interfaces)
