nfsd: fix nsfd startup race triggering BUG_ON
commit bb7ffbf2 upstream. nfsd triggered a BUG_ON in net_generic(...) when rpc_pipefs_event(...) in fs/nfsd/nfs4recover.c was called before assigning ntfsd_net_id. The following was observed on a MIPS 32-core processor: kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffffc00bc5e4>] rpc_pipefs_event+0x7c/0x158 [nfsd] kernel: [<ffffffff8017a2a0>] notifier_call_chain+0x70/0xb8 kernel: [<ffffffff8017a4e4>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4c/0x70 kernel: [<ffffffff8053aff8>] rpc_fill_super+0xf8/0x1a0 kernel: [<ffffffff8022204c>] mount_ns+0xb4/0xf0 kernel: [<ffffffff80222b48>] mount_fs+0x50/0x1f8 kernel: [<ffffffff8023dc00>] vfs_kern_mount+0x58/0xf0 kernel: [<ffffffff802404ac>] do_mount+0x27c/0xa28 kernel: [<ffffffff80240cf0>] SyS_mount+0x98/0xe8 kernel: [<ffffffff80135d24>] handle_sys64+0x44/0x68 kernel: kernel: Code: 0040f809 00000000 2e020001 <00020336> 3c12c00d 3c02801a de100000 6442eb98 0040f809 kernel: ---[ end trace 7471374335809536 ]--- Fixed this behaviour by calling register_pernet_subsys(&nfsd_net_ops) before registering rpc_pipefs_event(...) with the notifier chain.
