Fix a number of RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code. (1) delegation->cred doesn't need to be RCU protected as it's essentially an invariant refcounted structure. By the time we get to nfs_free_delegation(), the delegation is being released, so no one else should be attempting to use the saved credentials, and they can be cleared. However, since the list of delegations could still be under traversal at this point by such as nfs_client_return_marked_delegations(), the cred should be released in nfs_do_free_delegation() rather than in nfs_free_delegation(). Simply using rcu_assign_pointer() to clear it is insufficient as that doesn't stop the cred from being destroyed, and nor does calling put_rpccred() after call_rcu(), given that the latter is asynchronous. (2) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() and nfs_inode_set_delegation() should use rcu_derefence_protected() because they can only be calle...
