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 f904be9 "lockd: Mostly remove BKL from the server".
