[ Upstream commit 7b4f8a1586c42d3afc3c0ac779af2db7ab1a5c55 ]

nfs40_clean_admin_revoked() takes a stateid reference under
clp->cl_lock, drops nn->client_lock, and calls
nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid(), which dereferences the stateid's client
through s->sc_client->cl_lock.  The stateid reference does not pin the
client, so a teardown racing the dropped lock can free the client
while nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid() is still using it.

This cleanup runs from the laundromat, so a periodic sweep can race
force_expire_client() driven by a write to the clients/<id>/ctl file.

Skip a client that is already expiring and otherwise pin it with
cl_rpc_users under client_lock before dropping the lock, matching
nfsd4_revoke_states().

Fixes: d688d8585e6b ("nfsd: allow admin-revoked NFSv4.0 state to be freed.")
