[34-longterm 103/260] SUNRPC: Fix race corrupting rpc upcall

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

commit 5a67657a2e90c9e4a48518f95d4ba7777aa20fbb upstream.

If rpc_queue_upcall() adds a new upcall to the rpci->pipe list just
after rpc_pipe_release calls rpc_purge_list(), but before it calls
gss_pipe_release (as rpci->ops->release_pipe(inode)), then the latter
will free a message without deleting it from the rpci->pipe list.

We will be left with a freed object on the rpc->pipe list. Most
frequent symptoms are kernel crashes in rpc.gssd system calls on the
pipe in question.
