If an svc thread needs to perform some initialisation that might fail, it has no good way to handle the failure. Before the thread can exit it must call svc_exit_thread(), but that requires the service mutex to be held. The thread cannot simply take the mutex as that could deadlock if there is a concurrent attempt to shut down all threads (which is unlikely, but not impossible). nfsd currently call svc_exit_thread() unprotected in the unlikely event that unshare_fs_struct() fails. We can clean this up by introducing svc_thread_init_status() by which an svc thread can report whether initialisation has succeeded. If it has, it continues normally into the action loop. If it has not, svc_thread_init_status() immediately aborts the thread. svc_start_kthread() waits for either of these to happen, and calls svc_exit_thread() (under the mutex) if the thread aborted.
