nlmsvc_lock calls nlmsvc_create_block with file->f_sema held. nlmsvc_create_block calls nlmclnt_lookup_host which might call nlm_gc_hosts which might, eventually, try to claim file->f_sema for the same file -> deadlock. nlmsvc_create_block does not need any protection under any lock as lockd is single-threaded and _create_block only plays with internal data structures. So we release the f_sema before calling in, and make sure it gets claimed again afterwards.
