NFS: fix reference counting for NFSv4 callback thread
The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down. svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always at 2 when the thread exits. The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto() handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.
