Subject: nfs4: start callback_ident at idr 1

commit c68a027c05709330fe5b2f50c50d5fa02124b5d8 upstream.

If clp->cl_cb_ident is zero, then nfs_cb_idr_remove_locked() skips removing
it when the nfs_client is freed.  A decoding or server bug can then find
and try to put that first nfs_client which would lead to a crash.
