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.

Doesn't this leave error paths in e.g. __write_ports_addfd() and
__write_ports_addxprt() unfixed?

I'm inclined to just submit your original fix (split up as in the last
version I sent) for 3.5 if you don't object.

Yes, sure it does...

Not at all.
Thanks, Bruce.

OK. Actually, Linus is making noise about a release in the next week or
two, so given that this is about error paths, I'm going to queue it up
for the 3.6 and cc it to stable. It'll end up in 3.5.x pretty quickly
that way anyway.

Ok, Bruce. Sounds good.
