Edward Adam Davis 8c1cf63ed4 NFSD: net ref data still needs to be freed even if net hasn't startup 
commit 0b88bfa42e upstream.

When the NFSD instance doesn't to startup, the net ref data memory is
not properly reclaimed, which triggers the memory leak issue reported
by syzbot [1].

To avoid the problem reported in [1], the net ref data memory reclamation
action is moved outside of nfsd_net_up when the net is shutdown.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
