A recent change to clamp_t() in 6.1.y caused fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c to fail to compile with gcc-9.

I have a comment on merge process:

Reported on 6.1.y, but might be present in other LTS releases, since 2030ca560c5f exists in every LTS kernel since v5.4.y.

At least, my understanding of the stable rules is that they prefer this kind of patch be applied to all relevant LTS kernels. I strongly prefer that NFSD experts review and test this change /before/ it is merged,

Of course, I count you among said experts. I just want to get this change in front of the NFS community, because, as I said, we get no normal upstream merge process here.
