NFS: fix reference counting for NFSv4 callback thread 

The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially
high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the
svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on
x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking
at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down.

svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and
then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback
thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it
calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it
tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always
at 2 when the thread exits.

The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on
the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto()
handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.
