3.8.13.18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros at primarydata.com>

commit abad2fa5ba67725a3f9c376c8cfe76fbe94a3041 upstream.

If clp is new (cl_count = 1) and it matches another client in
nfs4_discover_server_trunking, the nfs_put_client will free clp before
->cl_preserve_clid is set.
