It looks to me like ses should be set whenenver conn is.  Do you have
reason to believe the contrary?

But, whoops, yes, this looks like a good fix.  (Have you hit this
failure in practice?)  But I think we should probably adopt the sort of
control flow that's more idiomatic in the kernel:

	c = __nfsd4_find_backchannel(clp)
	if (!c)
		goto out_unlock;
	...
	spin_unlock(&clp->cl_lock);
	err = setup_callback_client(clp, &conn, ses);
	if (err)
		goto out_err;

etc.
