  - NFSD: Prevent lock owner use-after-free during client teardown __destroy_client() releases a client's open
    owners, but a lock owner whose only reference is a blocked lock (nbl) stays on cl_ownerstr_hashtbl.
    client_has_state() does not count a bare owner, so DESTROY_CLIENTID can reach __destroy_client() with such
    owners present. __destroy_client() then walks the table, calling remove_blocked_locks() on each owner
    without a reference. Freeing a blocked lock drops the owner reference held via flc_owner. The per-net
    laundromat reaps blocked locks from nn->blocked_locks_lru independently of client state. The two paths
    share blocked_locks_lock only for the list splice, not the owner's lifetime. The laundromat therefore
    frees the owner as __destroy_client() dereferences it, a NULL dereference in remove_blocked_locks().
    nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds a reference across the same call; __destroy_client() does not. Hold
    cl_lock across the walk, taking a reference and unhashing each owner, then drop it before
    remove_blocked_locks() and nfs4_put_stateowner(), which take blocked_locks_lock and cl_lock.
