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

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.mykleb...@netapp.com>

commit 87ed50036b866db2ec2ba16b2a7aec4a2b0b7c39 upstream.

If the rpc_task exits while holding the socket write lock before it has
allocated an rpc slot, then the usual mechanism for releasing the write
lock in xprt_release() is defeated.

The problem occurs if the call to xprt_lock_write() initially fails, so
that the rpc_task is put on the xprt->sending wait queue. If the task
exits after being assigned the lock by __xprt_lock_write_func, but
before it has retried the call to xprt_lock_and_alloc_slot(), then
it calls xprt_release() while holding the write lock, but will
immediately exit due to the test for task->tk_rqstp != NULL.
