NFS: Ensure we call nfs_sb_deactive() after releasing the directory inode

In order to avoid the "Busy inodes after unmount" error message, we need to
ensure that nfs_async_unlink_release() releases the super block after the
call to nfs_free_unlinkdata().

/etc/rc6.d/S60umountroot: line 17: 1462 Segmentation fault mount $MOUNT_FORCE_OPT -n -o remount,ro -t dummytype dummydev / 2> /dev/null

The new super.c:nfs_remount function doesn't check the validity of the
options/options4 pointers. Unfortunately, this seems to happend.
The obvious patch seems to check the pointers, and not to do anything if
the happend to be NULL.

Tested on an XScale PXA255 system, latest git.

M.
