nfsd: replace rp_mutex to avoid deadlock in move_to_close_lru()

move_to_close_lru() waits for sc_count to become zero while holding
rp_mutex.  This can deadlock if another thread holds a reference and is
waiting for rp_mutex.

By the time we get to move_to_close_lru() the openowner is unhashed and
cannot be found any more.  So code waiting for the mutex can safely
retry the lookup if move_to_close_lru() has started.

So change rp_mutex to an atomic_t with three states:

 RP_UNLOCK   - state is still hashed, not locked for reply
 RP_LOCKED   - state is still hashed, is locked for reply
 RP_UNHASHED - state is not hashed, no code can get a lock.

Use wait_var_event() to wait for either a lock, or for the owner to be
unhashed.  In the latter case, retry the lookup.
