Hello Jeff Layton,

The patch d20c11d86d8f: "nfsd: Protect session creation and client
confirm using client_lock" from Jul 30, 2014, leads to the following
Smatch static checker warning:

	net/sunrpc/addr.c:178 rpc_parse_scope_id()
	warn: sleeping in atomic context

    161 static int rpc_parse_scope_id(struct net *net, const char *buf,

The call tree is:

nfsd4_setclientid() <- disables preempt
-> gen_callback()
   -> rpc_uaddr2sockaddr()
      -> rpc_pton()
         -> rpc_pton6()
            -> rpc_parse_scope_id()

The commit added a spin_lock to nfsd4_setclientid().

This is the new lock.
