RHEL7: hung tasks related to NFS, blocked forever in nfs_block_sillyrename with 'CyProtectDrv' 3rd party module

Issue

During boot we see the following indicating the 3rd party module 'CyProtectDrv' is being loaded

[    1.451063] CyProtectDrv: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[    1.451101] CyProtectDrv: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[    1.452267] CyProtectDrv.FMap ERROR FMap_Load, Failed to open /opt/cylance/desktop/inventory_data

After some time, a number of processes with hung_task backtraces in nfs_block_sillyrename for an indefinite amount of time, and a reboot of the machine is required to clear
