[PATCH 0/5 v2] sunrpc: stop refcounting svc_serv

I sent an earlier version of this series, got some feed back, revised
it, but never sent it again. Sorry.

The main feedback was around the interaction between sunrpc and nfsd for
handling poolstats. I have changed that so that nfsd tells sunrpc where
the svc_serv pointer lives, and where to find a mutex to protect it.
sunrpc then taks the mutex and accesses the pointer - if not NULL. I
think this is nicer than the version that pass around funciton pointers.

This series is against nfsd-next

Thanks,
NeilBrown
