This bug was always here, but before my commit
6fa02839bf9412e18e77
("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by
failure of a kmalloc(). After that commit it could be triggered by a
client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export
marked "secure". (Exports are "secure" by default.)
The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low,
resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed.
The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will
clean up fh_verify().
Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup.
