nfsd_global_mutex still serializes file cache flushes against server start/stop in unrelated namespaces. nfsd_file_cache_purge() is reached from expkey_flush() on every "exportfs -f", which makes it the only frequent taker of the global lock -- and it has nothing to do with nfsd_users or the NFSv4 global tables it would be waiting on.
Move NFSD_FILE_CACHE_UP and the objects it covers (rhltable, LRU, slabs, shrinker, fsnotify groups) onto a nfsd_file_cache_mutex private to filecache.c. nfsd_file_cache_init() and nfsd_file_cache_shutdown() take it themselves rather than asserting the caller holds the global one, so nfssvc.c no longer needs to know how the cache locks itself. nfsd_global_mutex is left holding only nfsd_users, the notifier count and user_recovery_dirname, all of which are touched solely on server start/stop. Ordering is nn->nfsd_mutex outside nfsd_global_mutex outside nfsd_file_cache_mutex. The cache mutex is reached three ways, all consistent with that: from nfsd_startup_generic()/nfsd_shutdown_generic() under the global mutex, from nfsd_shutdown_net() under nn->nfsd_mutex, and bare from expkey_flush() and the filecache stats file. Nothing called with the cache mutex held takes either of the others.
