In the event that there is an error connecting to a DS, we currently
zero out the ds pointer and then try to dereference it to clear the
NFS4DS_CONNECTING bit.

Fix this by clearing the bit unconditionally before zeroing out the
pointer.

Trond,

Please disregard this patch. There's another problem in here that we'll
need to fix too. Andy will be sending along a replacement patch later
that should fix this bug and the other problems too.
