nfsd: don't call locks_release_private() twice concurrently

It is possible for free_blocked_lock() to be called twice concurrently,
once from nfsd4_lock() and once from nfsd4_release_lockowner() calling
remove_blocked_locks().  This is why a kref was added.

It is perfectly safe for locks_delete_block() and kref_put() to be
called in parallel as they use locking or atomicity respectively as
protection.  However locks_release_private() has no locking.  It is
safe for it to be called twice sequentially, but not concurrently.

This patch moves that call from free_blocked_lock() where it could race
with itself, to free_nbl() where it cannot.  This will slightly delay
the freeing of private info or release of the owner - but not by much.
It is arguably more natural for this freeing to happen in free_nbl()
where the structure itself is freed.

This bug was found by code inspection - it has not been seen in practice.
