[PATCH kNFSd ] nlm: fix f_count leak

[NeilBrown]

Hi,
 The following patch is probably appropriate for 2.4.30.  The problem
it fixes is not a major one (no security or data corruption issues)
but is an occasional annoyance, and the fix is trivial (and tested).

### Comments for Changeset

I can't see any reason for this file->f_count++.  Removing it fixes a
bug which leaves an exported filesystem busy (and so unmountable) if a
callback for a lock held on that filesystem ever failed.

Found by Terence Rokop.
