This is a bug fix for 3.5 kernel.
In case on NFSd service start failure svc_shutdown_net() will call svc_destroy
callback and zeroize global nfsd_serv pointer, this in turn will lead to Oops
in svc_destroy().

This patch is marked as RFC, because to many lines were changed. It can be
easely simplified if requested.
Moreover, NFSd service shutdown is going to be converted into csomething on
per-net basis.
