NFS: Fix possible endless state recovery wait
In nfs4_wait_clnt_recover(), hold a reference to the clp being waited on. The state manager can reduce clp->cl_count to 1, in which case the nfs_put_client() in nfs4_run_state_manager() can free *clp before wait_on_bit() returns and allows nfs4_wait_clnt_recover() to run again. The behavior at that point is non-deterministic. If the waited-on bit still happens to be zero, wait_on_bit() will wake the waiter as expected. If the bit is set again (say, if the memory was poisoned when freed) wait_on_bit() can leave the waiter asleep. This is a narrow fix which ensures the safety of accessing *clp in nfs4_wait_clnt_recover(), but does not address the continued use of a possibly freed *clp after nfs4_wait_clnt_recover() returns (see nfs_end_delegation_return(), for example).
