Chuck LeverandGreg Kroah-Hartman 661f09d39a NFSD: Skip sending CB_RECALL_ANY when the backchannel isn't up
commit 8a388c1fab upstream.

NFSD sends CB_RECALL_ANY to clients when the server is low on
memory or that client has a large number of delegations outstanding.

We've seen cases where NFSD attempts to send CB_RECALL_ANY requests
to disconnected clients, and gets confused. These calls never go
anywhere if a backchannel transport to the target client isn't
available. Before the server can send any backchannel operation, the
client has to connect first and then do a BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION.

This patch doesn't address the root cause of the confusion, but
there's no need to queue up these optional operations if they can't
go anywhere.
