Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: PipeFS MOUNT notification optimization for dying
 clients

commit 4f6bb246f69443549fbbd0f2abaf863243cb35e9 upstream.

Not need to create pipes for dying client. So just skip them.

Note: we can safely dereference the client structure, because notification
caller is holding sn->pipefs_sb_lock.
