[PATCH 05/15] SUNRPC: Use RCU to dereference the rpc_clnt.cl_xprt field

[Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>]

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

A migration event will replace the rpc_xprt used by an rpc_clnt.  To
ensure this can be done safely, all references to cl_xprt must now use
a form of rcu_dereference().

Special care is taken with rpc_peeraddr2str(), which returns a pointer
to memory whose lifetime is the same as the rpc_xprt.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
[ cel: fix lockdep splats and layering violations ]
[ cel: forward ported to 3.4 ]
[ cel: remove rpc_max_reqs(), add rpc_net_ns() ]
