printk format used %*s instead of %.*s, so hostname_len does not limit
the number of bytes accessed from hostname.

<title>nfsd: fix leaked file lock with nfs exported overlayfs</title>

nfsd and lockd call vfs_lock_file() to lock/unlock the inode
returned by locks_inode(file).

Many places in nfsd/lockd code use the inode returned by
file_inode(file) for lock manipulation. With Overlayfs, file_inode()
(the underlying inode) is not the same object as locks_inode() (the
overlay inode). This can result in "Leaked POSIX lock" messages
and eventually to a kernel crash as reported by Eddie Horng:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-unionfs&amp;m=153086643202072&amp;w=2

Fix all the call sites in nfsd/lockd that should use locks_inode().
This is a correctness bug that manifested when overlayfs gained
NFS export support in v4.16.

The variables nlm_ntf_refcnt and nlm_ntf_wq are local to the source and
do not need to be in global scope, so make them static.

Cleans up sparse warnings:
fs/lockd/svc.c:60:10: warning: symbol 'nlm_ntf_refcnt' was not declared.
Should it be static?
fs/lockd/svc.c:61:1: warning: symbol 'nlm_ntf_wq' was not declared.
Should it be static?

The server shouldn't actually delete the struct nlm_host until it hits
the garbage collector. In order to make that work correctly with the
refcount API, we can bump the refcount by one, and then use
refcount_dec_if_one() in the garbage collector.

<title>lockd: convert nlm_rqst.a_count from atomic_t to refcount_t</title>

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable nlm_rqst.a_count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

**Important note for maintainers:

Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.

For the nlm_rqst.a_count it might make a difference
in following places:
 - nlmclnt_release_call() and nlmsvc_release_call(): decrement
   in refcount_dec_and_test() only
   provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
   vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.

For the nlm_host.h_count it might make a difference
in following places:
 - nlmsvc_release_host(): decrement in refcount_dec()
   provides RELEASE ordering, while original atomic_dec()
   was fully unordered. Since the change is for better, it
   should not matter.
 - nlmclnt_release_host(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
   provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
   vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart. It doesn't seem to
   matter in this case since object freeing happens under mutex
   lock anyway.

nlm_complain_hosts() walks through nlm_server_hosts hlist, which should
be protected by nlm_host_mutex.

lockd_inet[6]addr_event use nlmsvc_rqst without taken nlmsvc_mutex,
nlmsvc_rqst can be changed during execution of notifiers and crash the host.

Patch enables access to nlmsvc_rqst only when it was correctly initialized
and delays its cleanup until notifiers are no longer in use.

Note that nlmsvc_rqst can be temporally set to ERR_PTR, so the "if
(nlmsvc_rqst)" check in notifiers is insufficient on its own.
