This is overkill... We end up blocking NFSv4 callbacks while the
rpc_pipefs notifier runs through the nfs_clients creating or destroying
idmapper dentries.

Surely the rpc_pipefs_event() can take a reference to the nfs_client and
then drop the spin_lock if it sees that it needs to create or destroy a
dentry?
