[ Upstream commit 6b044fbaab02292fedb17565dbb3f2528083b169 ] svc_set_num_threads() does everything that lockd_start_svc() does, except set sv_maxconn. It also (when passed 0) finds the threads and stops them with kthread_stop(). So move the setting for sv_maxconn, and use svc_set_num_thread() We now don't need nlmsvc_task. Now that we use svc_set_num_threads() it makes sense to set svo_module. This request that the thread exists with module_put_and_exit(). Also fix the documentation for svo_module to make this explicit. svc_prepare_thread is now only used where it is defined, so it can be made static.

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.
