Subject: [PATCH 0/3] NLM: convert lockd to kthreads (try #11)

This is try #11 of the conversion of lockd to the kthread API.

The main differences from the last patchset are:

1) the addition of a patch to svc_recv to have it check
   kthread_should_stop in various places

2) the removal of the send_sig() call from lockd_down

...as Trond cleverly pointed out, if we strategically place a
kthread_should_stop call after changing the task state, then we don't
need anything else to prevent a long hang in schedule_timeout().

Comments, suggestions or ACK's appreciated...

Thanks,
