SUNRPC: Ensure that we free the rpc_task after cleanups are done 

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.

/*
* rpc_free_task - release rpc task and perform cleanups
*
* Note that we free up the rpc_task _after_ rpc_release_calldata()
* in order to work around a workqueue dependency issue.
*
* Tejun Heo states:
* "Workqueue currently considers two work items to be the same if they're
* on the same address and won't execute them concurrently - ie. it
* makes a work item which is queued again while being executed wait
* for the previous execution to complete.
*
* If a work function frees the work item, and then waits for an event
* which should be performed by another work item and *that* work item
* recycles the freed work item, it can create a false dependency loop.
* There really is no reliable way to detect this short of verifying
* every memory free."
