NFSD: simplify locking for network notifier.
nfsd currently maintains an open-coded read/write semaphore (refcount and wait queue) for each network namespace to ensure the nfs service isn't shut down while the notifier is running. This is excessive. As there is unlikely to be contention between notifiers and they run without sleeping, a single spinlock is sufficient to avoid problems.
