[Devel] [PATCH] NFSd: set nfsd_serv to NULL after service destruction

[Stanislav Kinsbursky]

Otherwise we will get NULL pointer dereference after
svc_shutdown_net->sv_shutdown (nfsd_last_thread) call.
This looks safe, because all such operations (svc_destroy) are performed with
nfsd_mutex being held.
