[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 100/330] nfsd: Fix a soft lockup race in nfsd_file_mark_find_or_create()

[ Upstream commit 90d2f1da832fd23290ef0c0d964d97501e5e8553 ]

If nfsd_file_mark_find_or_create() keeps winning the race for the
nfsd_file_fsnotify_group->mark_mutex against nfsd_file_mark_put()
then it can soft lock up, since fsnotify_add_inode_mark() ends
up always finding an existing entry.
