lockd: protect nlm_blocked access in nlmsvc_retry_blocked
In nlmsvc_retry_blocked, the check that the list is non-empty and acquiring
the pointer of the first entry is unprotected by any lock. This allows a rare
race condition when there is only one entry on the list. A function such as
nlmsvc_grant_callback() can be called, which will temporarily remove the entry
from the list. Between the list_empty() and list_entry(),the list may become
empty, causing an invalid pointer to be used as an nlm_block, leading to a
possible crash.
This patch adds the nlm_block_lock around these calls to prevent concurrent
use of the nlm_blocked list.
This was a regression introduced by
f904be9cc77f361d37d71468b13ff3d1a1823dea "lockd: Mostly remove BKL from
the server".
