[PATCH] nfsd: move fsnotify on client creation outside spinlock

[PATCH] nfsd: move fsnotify on client creation outside spinlock

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

This was causing a "sleeping function called from invalid context"
warning.

I don't think we need the set_and_test_bit() here; clients move from
unconfirmed to confirmed only once, under the client_lock.

The (conf == unconf) is a way to check whether we're in that confirming
case, hopefully that's not too obscure.

Fixes: 472d155a0631 "nfsd: report client confirmation status in "info" file"

It is a bit obscure, but I cannot see a cleaner way as it isn't too hard
to work out what the test means by looking back at the code.  So the
only concern is that some later change might cause the test to subtly
change meaning.  Probably not a big concern.

Anyway, thanks for fixing this up.
