starting nfsd triggers the deadlock detection, but it's not really a
deadlock.

The first nfsd thread acquires nlmsvc_sema. The other 7 nfsd threads
wait on it. The first thread creates lockd and tries to get lockd_start,
which is initialized locked and will be released when the lockd thread
starts. The deadlock complains about a deadlock on nlmsvc_sema inside of
down(&lockd_start). ?

Converting lockd_start to a waitqueue solves the problem and is more
sane, than the locked mutex.
