This patch applies to -mm and current -git and should go to Linus
before 2.6.17
Thanks.

### Comments for Changeset

Both cause the 'entries' count in the export cache to be non-zero
at module removal time, so unregistering that cache fails and results
in an oops.

1/ exp_pseudoroot (used for NFSv4 only) leaks a reference to an export
   entry.
2/ sunrpc_cache_update doesn't increment the entries count when it adds
   an entry.

Thanks to "david m. richter" <[email protected]> for triggering the
problem and finding one of the bugs.
