Subject: NFSv4.1/pNFS: Fix borken function _same_data_server_addrs_locked()

From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

commit 6f536936b79bd4b5cea8fb0e5b8b0bce8cd1ea4a upstream.

- Switch back to using list_for_each_entry(). Fixes an incorrect test for list NULL termination.
- Do not assume that lists are sorted.
- Finally, consider an existing entry to match if it consists of a subset of the addresses in the new entry.
