[SRU Bionic 1/1] NFSv4: Initialise connection to the server in nfs4_alloc_client()

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust at hammerspace.com>

Set up the connection to the NFSv4 server in nfs4_alloc_client(), before
we've added the struct nfs_client to the net-namespace's nfs_client_list
so that a downed server won't cause other mounts to hang in the trunking
detection code.

Fixes: 5c6e5b60aae4 ("NFS: Fix an Oops in the pNFS files and flexfiles connection setup to the DS")
