Jan Kara 9052c7cf49 nfs: Fix bdi handling for cloned superblocks
In commit 0d3b12584972 "nfs: Convert to separately allocated bdi" I have
wrongly cloned bdi reference in nfs_clone_super(). Further inspection
has shown that originally the code was actually allocating a new bdi (in
->clone_server callback) which was later registered in
nfs_fs_mount_common() and used for sb->s_bdi in nfs_initialise_sb().
This could later result in bdi for the original superblock not getting
unregistered when that superblock got shutdown (as the cloned sb still
held bdi reference) and later when a new superblock was created under
the same anonymous device number, a clash in sysfs has happened on bdi
registration:

Fix the problem by always creating new bdi for a superblock as we used
to do.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
