nfsd: prevent callback tasks running concurrently

The nfsd4_callback workqueue jobs exist to queue backchannel RPCs to
rpciod. Because they run in different workqueue contexts, the rpc_task
can run concurrently with the workqueue job itself, should it become
requeued. This is problematic as there is no locking when accessing the
fields in the nfsd4_callback.

Add a new unsigned long to nfsd4_callback and declare a new
NFSD4_CALLBACK_RUNNING flag to be set in it. When attempting to run a
workqueue job, do a test_and_set_bit() on that flag first, and don't
queue the workqueue job if it returns true. Clear NFSD4_CALLBACK_RUNNING
in nfsd41_destroy_cb().

This also gives us a more reliable mechanism for handling queueing
failures in codepaths where we have to take references under spinlocks.
We can now do the test_and_set_bit on NFSD4_CALLBACK_RUNNING first, and
only take references to the objects if that returns false.

Most of the nfsd4_run_cb() callers are converted to use this new flag or
the nfsd4_try_run_cb() wrapper. The main exception is the callback
channel probe, which has its own synchronization.
