Merge tag 'nfs-for-3.8-2' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs

Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:

 - Fix a permissions problem when opening NFSv4 files that only have the
   exec bit set.

 - Fix a couple of typos in pNFS (inverted logic), and the mount parsing
   (missing pointer dereference).

 - Work around a series of deadlock issues due to workqueues using
   struct work_struct pointer address comparisons in the re-entrancy
   tests.  Ensure that we don't free struct work_struct prematurely if
   our work function involves waiting for completion of other work items
   (e.g. by calling rpc_shutdown_client).

 - Revert the part of commit 168e4b3 that is causing unnecessary
   warnings to be issued in the nfsd callback code.
