David Howells e0416e7d33 rxrpc: Fix potential race in error handling in afs_make_call()
If the rxrpc call set up by afs_make_call() receives an error whilst it is
transmitting the request, there's the possibility that it may get to the
point the rxrpc call is ended (after the error_kill_call label) just as the
call is queued for async processing.

This could manifest itself as call->rxcall being seen as NULL in
afs_deliver_to_call() when it tries to lock the call.

Fix this by splitting rxrpc_kernel_end_call() into a function to shut down
an rxrpc call and a function to release the caller's reference and calling
the latter only when we get to afs_put_call().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
