Thanks for the catch. I'll fix this.

We need to use safe macro, because client can be destroyed on nfs_put_client() call.
About "protection against ... the 'next' to be freed" - I dont' think, that we
need any protection against it. This will be done under nfs_client_lock, and
current entry list pointers will be updated properly.

Sorry, I don't understand this question.
