Subject: SUNRPC: Remove extra xprt_put()

From: Chuck Lever <[email protected]>

commit a58e0be6f6b3eb2079b0b8fedc9df6fa86869f1e upstream.

While testing error cases where rpc_new_client() fails, I saw
some oopses.

If rpc_new_client() fails, it already invokes xprt_put().  Thus
__rpc_clone_client() does not need to invoke it again.

Introduced by commit 1b63a751 "SUNRPC: Refactor rpc_clone_client()"
Fri Sep 14, 2012.
