If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust commit 6db6dd7d3fd8f7c765dabc376493d6791ab28bd6 upstream. This patch ensures that we free the rpc_task after the cleanup callbacks are done in order to avoid a deadlock problem that can be triggered if the callback needs to wait for another workqueue item to complete.
