NFS: Fix RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code

Fix a number of RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code.

 (1) delegation->cred doesn't need to be RCU protected as it's essentially an
     invariant refcounted structure.

     By the time we get to nfs_free_delegation(), the delegation is being
     released, so no one else should be attempting to use the saved
     credentials, and they can be cleared.

     However, since the list of delegations could still be under traversal at
     this point by such as nfs_client_return_marked_delegations(), the cred
     should be released in nfs_do_free_delegation() rather than in
     nfs_free_delegation().  Simply using rcu_assign_pointer() to clear it is
     insufficient as that doesn't stop the cred from being destroyed, and nor
     does calling put_rpccred() after call_rcu(), given that the latter is
     asynchronous.

 (2) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() and nfs_inode_set_delegation() should use
     rcu_derefence_protected() because they can only be called if
     nfs_client::cl_lock is held, and that guards against anyone changing
     nfsi->delegation under it.  Furthermore, the barrier imposed by
     rcu_dereference() is superfluous, given that the spin_lock() is also a
     barrier.

 (3) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() is now passed a pointer to the nfs_client
     struct so that it can issue lockdep advice based on clp->cl_lock for (2).

 (4) nfs_inode_return_delegation_noreclaim() and nfs_inode_return_delegation()
     should use rcu_access_pointer() outside the spinlocked region as they
     merely examine the pointer and don't follow it, thus rendering unnecessary
     the need to impose a partial ordering over the one item of interest.

     These result in an RCU warning like the following:

[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
fs/nfs/delegation.c:332 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:
