NFS: avoid NULL dereference in nfs_destroy_server
In rare circumstances, nfs_clone_server() of a v2 or v3 server can get an error between setting server->destory (to nfs_destroy_server), and calling nfs_start_lockd (which will set server->nlm_host). If this happens, nfs_clone_server will call nfs_free_server which will call nfs_destroy_server and thence nlmclnt_done(NULL). This causes the NULL to be dereferenced. So add a guard to only call nlmclnt_done() if ->nlm_host is not NULL. The other guards there are irrelevant as nlm_host can only be non-NULL if one of these flags are set - so remove those tests. (Thanks to Trond for this suggestion). This is suitable for any stable kernel since 2.6.25.
