[ Upstream commit 29fe839976266bc7c55b927360a1daae57477723 ]
We add the new state to the nfsi->open_states list, making it
potentially visible to other threads, before we've finished initializing
it.
That wasn't a problem when all the readers were also taking the i_lock
(as we do here), but since we switched to RCU, there's now a possibility
that a reader could see the partially initialized state.
Symptoms observed were a crash when another thread called
nfs4_get_valid_delegation() on a NULL inode, resulting in an oops like:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffb0 ...
RIP: 0010:nfs4_get_valid_delegation+0x6/0x30 [nfsv4] ...
