After __destroy_client() releases a client's open owners, a lock owner
whose only remaining reference is a blocked lock (nbl) is left on
cl_ownerstr_hashtbl.  client_has_state() does not account for a bare
lock owner, so DESTROY_CLIENTID can reach __destroy_client() with these
lock owners still present.

__destroy_client() then walks cl_ownerstr_hashtbl and calls
remove_blocked_locks() on each lock owner without holding a reference.
Freeing a blocked lock drops the lock owner reference held through the
file_lock's flc_owner, so the per-net laundromat, which reaps timed-out
blocked locks from nn->blocked_locks_lru independently of client state,
can free the same lock owner concurrently.  The two paths serialize on
blocked_locks_lock for the list splice only, not for the lock owner's
lifetime.  The laundromat can therefore free the lock owner while
__destroy_client() is about to dereference it, and the freed, zeroed
slab object produces a NULL dereference in remove_blocked_locks().

nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds a reference across the same call;
__destroy_client() does not.  Hold cl_lock across the walk, and
take a reference and unhash each lock owner before dropping the
lock, so the laundromat cannot reap a blocked lock and free the
lock owner underneath this loop.  cl_lock is released before
remove_blocked_locks() and nfs4_put_stateowner(), which take
blocked_locks_lock and cl_lock respectively.
