lockd: drop inappropriate svc_get() from locked_get()
[ Upstream commit 665e89ab7c5af1f2d260834c861a74b01a30f95f ] The below-mentioned patch was intended to simplify refcounting on the svc_serv used by locked. The goal was to only ever have a single reference from the single thread. To that end we dropped a call to lockd_start_svc() (except when creating thread) which would take a reference, and dropped the svc_put(serv) that would drop that reference. Unfortunately we didn't also remove the svc_get() from lockd_create_svc() in the case where the svc_serv already existed. So after the patch: - on the first call the svc_serv was allocated and the one reference was given to the thread, so there are no extra references - on subsequent calls svc_get() was called so there is now an extra reference. This is clearly not consistent. The inconsistency is also clear in the current code in lockd_get() takes *two* references, one on nlmsvc_serv and one by incrementing nlmsvc_users. This clearly does not match lockd_put(). So: drop that svc_get() from lockd_get() (which used to be in lockd_create_svc().
