nfsd: fix auth_domain reference leak on nlm operations
This was noticed by users who performed more than 2^32 lock operations and hence made this counter overflow (eventually leading to use-after-free's). Setting rq_client to NULL here means that it won't later get auth_domain_put() when it should be.
Appears to have been introduced in 2.5.42 by "[PATCH] kNFSd: Move auth domain lookup into svcauth" which moved most of the rq_client handling to common svcauth code, but left behind this one line.
