nlmsvc_retry_blocked() examines the block at the head of nlm_blocked
under nlm_blocked_lock, then releases the lock before calling
nlmsvc_grant_blocked() or retry_deferred_block(). It holds no
reference of its own across that window, so the nlm_blocked list
reference is all that keeps the block alive. Unmounting the nfsd
filesystem while a lock request is still blocked reaches
nlmsvc_traverse_blocks(), which drops that reference.
nlmsvc_grant_blocked() does take a reference, but only after
nlm_blocked_lock has been dropped, so the block and the nlm_rqst
hanging off it can be freed before it runs.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nlm_async_call+0xd6/0x230

    nlmsvc_retry_blocked+0x61c/0x800
    lockd+0x144/0x1c0
  Freed by task 8392:
    nlmsvc_release_block+0x231/0x290
    nlmsvc_traverse_blocks+0x139/0x1b0
    nlm_traverse_files+0x1aa/0xa00

    nlm_shutdown_hosts_net+0x127/0x280
    lockd_down+0xd5/0x1c0

Take a reference before releasing nlm_blocked_lock and drop it
once the retry has run. retry_deferred_block() borrows its
caller's reference as well, so this covers both arms of the loop.
