Subject: NFSv4: Fix a use-after-free situation in _nfs4_proc_getlk()

commit a6f951ddbdfb7bd87d31a44f61abe202ed6ce57f upstream.

In nfs4_proc_getlk(), when some error causes a retry of the call to
_nfs4_proc_getlk(), we can end up with Oopses of the form

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000134
 IP: [<ffffffff8165270e>] _raw_spin_lock+0xe/0x30
<snip>
 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff812f287d>] _atomic_dec_and_lock+0x4d/0x70
  [<ffffffffa053c4f2>] nfs4_put_lock_state+0x32/0xb0 [nfsv4]
  [<ffffffffa053c585>] nfs4_fl_release_lock+0x15/0x20 [nfsv4]
  [<ffffffffa0522c06>] _nfs4_proc_getlk.isra.40+0x146/0x170 [nfsv4]
  [<ffffffffa052ad99>] nfs4_proc_lock+0x399/0x5a0 [nfsv4]

The problem is that we don't clear the request->fl_ops after the first
try and so when we retry, nfs4_set_lock_state() exits early without
setting the lock stateid.
Regression introduced by commit 70cc6487a4e08b8698c0e2ec935fb48d10490162
(locks: make ->lock release private data before returning in GETLK case)
