[PATCH] sunrpc: start cache request seqno at 1 to fix netlink GET_REQS

[Jeff Layton]

sunrpc_cache_requests_snapshot() filters requests with
crq->seqno <= min_seqno. The min_seqno for the first netlink
dump call is cb->args[0] which is 0. Since next_seqno was
initialized to 0, the very first cache request got seqno=0
and was silently skipped by the snapshot (0 <= 0 is true).

This caused netlink-based GET_REQS to return 0 pending requests
even when a request was queued, preventing mountd from resolving
cache entries (particularly expkey/nfsd.fh). The unresolved
CACHE_PENDING state blocked all further notifications for the
entry, leading to permanent NFS4ERR_DELAY hangs.

Start next_seqno at 1 so all requests have seqno >= 1 and pass
the snapshot filter when min_seqno is 0.

I started hitting a persistent hang in mountd upcalls just after reboot,
and this turns out to be the cause. It's probably best to fold this into
the patch in the Fixes: line.
