Subject: lockd: unregister notifier blocks if the service fails to come up completely

From: Scott Mayhew <[email protected]>

commit cb7d224f82e41d82518e7f9ea271d215d4d08e6e upstream.

If the lockd service fails to start up then we need to be sure that the notifier blocks are not registered, otherwise a subsequent start of the service could cause the same notifier to be registered twice, leading to soft lockups.
