Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: use i_wrlock instead of rcu for nfsdfs i_private

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

synchronize_rcu() gets called multiple times each time a client is
destroyed. If the laundromat thread has a lot of clients to destroy,
the delay can be noticeable. This was causing pynfs test RENEW3 to
fail.

We could embed an rcu_head in each inode and do the kref_put in an rcu
callback. But simplest is just to take a lock here.

(I also wonder if the laundromat thread would be better replaced by a
bunch of scheduled work or timers or something.)
