knfsd: Replace lock_kernel with a mutex for nfsd thread startup/shutdown locking.



This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL
really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs
protection across sleeps.

Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work
and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is
adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.
