Gmmm.
Please, correct me, if I'm wrong, that you are proposing something like this:

spin_lock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
again:
list_for_each_entry(clnt,&sn->all_clients, cl_clients) {
if ((event == RPC_PIPEFS_MOUNT) && clnt->cl_dentry) ||
(event == RPC_PIPEFS_UMOUNT) && !clnt->cl_dentry))
continue;
atomic_inc(&clnt->cl_count);
spin_unlock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
error = __rpc_pipefs_event(clnt, event, sb);
rpc_release_client(clnt);
spin_lock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
if (error)
break;
goto again;
}
spin_unlock(&sn->rpc_client_lock);
