nfs: system crashes after NFS4ERR_MOVED recovery



nfs4_update_server unconditionally releases the nfs_client for the
source server. If migration fails, this can cause the source server's
nfs_client struct to be left with a low reference count, resulting in
use-after-free.  Also, adjust reference count handling for ELOOP.

This bug was introduced by 32e62b7c ("NFS: Add nfs4_update_server"),
but the fix applies cleanly to 52442f9b ("NFS4: Avoid migration loops")
