Maybe you want adding "trace_layout_recall_fail(&ls->ls_stid.sc_stateid);" here?
I think the following is better,

@@ -587,7 +587,7 @@ nfsd4_cb_layout_fail(struct nfs4_layout_stateid *ls)

        rpc_ntop((struct sockaddr *)&clp->cl_addr, addr_str, sizeof(addr_str));

-       nfsd4_cb_layout_fail(ls);
+       trace_layout_recall_fail(&ls->ls_stid.sc_stateid);

        printk(KERN_WARNING
                "nfsd: client %s failed to respond to layout recall. "
