Commit 7b587e1a5a6c ("NFS: use locks_copy_lock() to copy locks.") changed the lock copying from memcpy() to the dedicated locks_copy_lock() function. The latter correctly increments the nfs4_lock_state.ls_count via nfs4_fl_copy_lock(), however, this refcount has already been incremented in the nfs4_alloc_{lock,unlock}data(). Kmemleak subsequently reports an unreferenced nfs4_lock_state object as below (arm64 platform):
