Client have to be initialized prior to adding it to per-net clients list,
because otherwise there are races, shown below:

CPU#0					CPU#1
_____					_____

nfs_get_client
nfs_alloc_client
list_add(..., nfs_client_list)
					rpc_fill_super
					rpc_pipefs_event
					nfs_get_client_for_event
					__rpc_pipefs_event
					(clp->cl_rpcclient is uninitialized)
					BUG()
init_client
clp->cl_rpcclient = ...
