nfs4: fix potential race with rapid nfs_callback_up/down cycle

If the nfsv4 callback thread is rapidly brought up and down, it's
possible that nfs_callback_svc might never get a chance to run. If
this happens, the cleanup at thread exit might never occur, throwing
the refcounting off and nfs_callback_info in an incorrect state.

Move the clean functions into nfs_callback_down. Also change the
nfs_callback_info struct to track the svc_rqst rather than svc_serv
since we need to know that to call svc_exit_thread.
