4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodd...@redhat.com>
This patch is only appropriate for stable kernels v4.16 - v4.19
Since commit 9b30889c548a ("SUNRPC: Ensure we always close the socket after
a connection shuts down"), and until commit c544577daddb ("SUNRPC: Clean up
transport write space handling"), it is possible for the NFS client to spin
in the following tight loop:
269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0
action=call_bind [sunrpc]
269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0
action=call_connect [sunrpc]
269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0
action=call_transmit [sunrpc]
269.964085: xprt_transmit: peer=[10.0.1.82]:2049 xid=0x761d3f77 status=-32
269.964085: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=-32
action=call_transmit_status [sunrpc]
269.964085: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=-32
action=call_status [sunrpc]
269.964085: rpc_call_status: task:43@0 status=-32
The issue is that the path through call_transmit_status does not release
the XPRT_LOCK when the transmit result is -EPIPE, so the socket cannot be
properly shut down.
The below commit fixed things up in mainline by unconditionally calling
xprt_end_transmit() and releasing the XPRT_LOCK after every pass through
call_transmit. However, the entirety of this commit is not appropriate for
stable kernels because its original inclusion was part of a series that
modifies the sunrpc code to use a different queueing model. As a result,
there are machinations within this patch that are not needed for a stable
fix and will not make sense without a larger backport of the mainline
series.
In this patch, we take the slightly modified bit of the mainline patch
below, which is to release the XPRT_LOCK on transmission error should we
detect that the transport is waiting to close.

SUNRPC: Clean up transport write space handling
Treat socket write space handling in the same way we now treat transport
congestion: by denying the XPRT_LOCK until the transport signals that it
has free buffer space.

The original discussion of the problem is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20181212135157.4489-1-dwyso...@redhat.com/T/#t
This passes my usual cthon and xfstests on NFS as applied on v4.19 mainline.
