NLM: don't let lockd exit on unexpected svc_recv errors (try #2)

When svc_recv returns an unexpected error, lockd will print a warning
and exit. This problematic for several reasons. In particular, it will
cause the reference counts for the thread to be wrong, and can lead to a
potential BUG() call.

Rather than exiting on error from svc_recv, have the thread do a 1s
sleep and then retry the loop. This is unlikely to cause any harm, and
if the error turns out to be something temporary then it may be able to
recover.
