Youzhong Yang sent an email to the list (along with some draft patches)
that indicated some nfsd_file refcount leaks. I went crawling over the
filecache code (again) and found a couple of places where we didn't put
references when we should. I'm not sure if it'll fix the problem they
reported, but they are bugs.

Plus, let's start counting nfsd_file allocations. The last patch adds
support for this.

I've browsed these, they seem straightforward.

Since this is the week before a merge window, I would like to save
these and Youzhong's patch for v6.12. The Fixes: tags will get them
pulled back into the stable kernels once they are merged.

Agreed. Leaks suck, but they (usually) aren't fatal, and interactions
in the filecache can be...subtle. I wouldn't mind a bit more testing
before we send this on.

Thanks!
