OK, I now figured out which commit did cause the problem:

commit 08843b79fb35d33859e0f8f11a7318341076e4d1
Merge: cc8362b 2c142ba
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 31 14:42:28 2012 -0700

    Merge branch 'nfsd-next' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
    
    Pull nfsd changes from J. Bruce Fields:
     "This has been an unusually quiet cycle--mostly bugfixes and cleanup.
      The one large piece is Stanislav's work to containerize the server's
      grace period--but that in itself is just one more step in a
      not-yet-complete project to allow fully containerized nfs service.
    
      There are a number of outstanding delegation, container, v4 state, and
      gss patches that aren't quite ready yet; 3.7 may be wilder."
    
    * 'nfsd-next' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (35 commits)
      NFSd: make boot_time variable per network namespace
      NFSd: make grace end flag per network namespace
      Lockd: move grace period management from lockd() to per-net functions
      LockD: pass actual network namespace to grace period management
      functions
      LockD: manage grace list per network namespace
      SUNRPC: service request network namespace helper introduced
      NFSd: make nfsd4_manager allocated per network namespace context.
      LockD: make lockd manager allocated per network namespace
      LockD: manage grace period per network namespace
      Lockd: add more debug to host shutdown functions
      Lockd: host complaining function introduced
      LockD: manage used host count per networks namespace
      LockD: manage garbage collection timeout per networks namespace
      LockD: make garbage collector network namespace aware.
      LockD: mark host per network namespace on garbage collect
      nfsd4: fix missing fault_inject.h include
      locks: move lease-specific code out of locks_delete_lock
      locks: prevent side-effects of locks_release_private before file_lock
      is initialized
      NFSd: set nfsd_serv to NULL after service destruction
      NFSd: introduce nfsd_destroy() helper
      ...

Thus "git diff 08843b79..cc8362b1" on a linux-stable tree from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git should
give us the relevant changes.
