So nsm_mon_unmon() is being passed a NULL client.

There are three container patches between 3.6.1 and 3.6.3:

lockd: per-net NSM client creation and destruction helpers introduced
lockd: use rpc client's cl_nodename for id encoding
lockd: create and use per-net NSM RPC clients on MON/UNMON requests

and that last does change nsm_monitor's call to nsm_mon_unmon, so that's
almost certainly it....

Looks like there's some confusion about whether nsm_client_get() returns
NULL or an error?
