Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Complete a cld upcall when the daemon closes the pipe

Once nfsdcld has read a whole upcall, rpc_pipe_read() unlinks the
message from every pipe list, so the purges in rpc_pipe_release()
and rpc_close_pipes() no longer reach it. cld_upcall_ops supplies no
.release_pipe callback, and cld_pipe_destroy_msg() returns without
completing the upcall because a downcall is expected to follow. A
daemon that exits between the read and the write therefore strands
its waiter: the nfsd thread sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE in
__cld_pipe_upcall() and never returns, hung task warnings follow,
and the server cannot be shut down.

Add a .release_pipe that completes every upcall the daemon has
consumed. cu_inflight distinguishes those from upcalls still queued
on the pipe, which the framework purges before it calls this
callback; cld_pipe_downcall() removes an upcall it accepts from
cn_list under the same lock. Neither can be completed twice.

Fail the stranded upcall with -EPIPE rather than the -EAGAIN that
makes cld_pipe_upcall() retry. The daemon consumed the request, so
whether it acted on it before exiting is unknown.
