In nfs4_callback_devicenotify(), if we don't find a matching entry for
the deviceid, we're left with a pointer to 'struct nfs_server' that
actually points to the list of super blocks associated with our struct
nfs_client.
Furthermore, even if we have a valid pointer, nothing pins the super
block, and so the struct nfs_server could end up getting freed while
we're using it.
Since all we want is a pointer to the struct pnfs_layoutdriver_type,
let's skip all the iteration over super blocks, and just use APIs to
find the layout driver directly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
