NeilBrown 8c62d12740 SUNRPC/NFSD: clean up get/put functions.
svc_destroy() is poorly named - it doesn't necessarily destroy the svc,
it might just reduce the ref count.
nfsd_destroy() is poorly named for the same reason.

This patch:
 - removes the refcount functionality from svc_destroy(), moving it to
   a new svc_put().  Almost all previous callers of svc_destroy() now
   call svc_put().
 - renames nfsd_destroy() to nfsd_put() and improves the code, using
   the new svc_destroy() rather than svc_put()
 - removes a few comments that explain the important for balanced
   get/put calls.  This should be obvious.

The only non-trivial part of this is that svc_destroy() would call
svc_sock_update() on a non-final decrement.  It can no longer do that,
and svc_put() isn't really a good place of it.  This call is now made
from svc_exit_thread() which seems like a good place.  This makes the
call *before* sv_nrthreads is decremented rather than after.  This
is not particularly important as the call just sets a flag which
causes sv_nrthreads set be checked later.  A subsequent patch will
improve the ordering.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
