[PATCH 5.10.y] nfsd: release layout stid on setlease failure

commit 30d55c8aabb261bc3f427d6b9aae7ef6206063f9 upstream.

nfs4_alloc_stid() publishes the new stid into cl->cl_stateids via
idr_alloc_cyclic() under cl_lock before returning to
nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid(). When nfsd4_layout_setlease() then
fails, the error path frees the layout stateid directly with
kmem_cache_free() without ever calling idr_remove(), leaving the
IDR slot pointing at freed slab memory. Any subsequent IDR walker
(states_show, client teardown) dereferences the dangling pointer.

The correct teardown for an IDR-published stid is nfs4_put_stid(),
which removes the IDR slot under cl_lock, dispatches sc_free
(nfsd4_free_layout_stateid) to release ls->ls_file via
nfsd4_close_layout(), and drops the nfs4_file reference in its
tail.

A second issue blocks that switch: nfsd4_free_layout_stateid()
unconditionally inspects ls->ls_fence_work via
delayed_work_pending() under ls_lock, but
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&ls->ls_fence_work, ...) currently runs only
after the setlease call. On the setlease-failure path the
destructor would touch an uninitialized delayed_work.

    nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid()
      nfs4_alloc_stid()           /* idr_alloc_cyclic under cl_lock */
      nfsd4_layout_setlease()     /* fails */
        nfs4_put_stid()
          nfsd4_free_layout_stateid()
            delayed_work_pending(&ls->ls_fence_work)  /* needs INIT */
            nfsd4_close_layout()  /* nfsd_file_put(ls->ls_file) */
          put_nfs4_file()

Fix by hoisting the ls_fenced / ls_fence_delay / INIT_DELAYED_WORK
initialization above the nfsd4_layout_setlease() call, and replace
the manual nfsd_file_put + put_nfs4_file + kmem_cache_free cleanup
with a single nfs4_put_stid(stp).
