rbd: fix safety of rbd_put_client() 

The rbd_client structure uses a kref to arrange for cleaning up and
freeing an instance when its last reference is dropped.  The cleanup
routine is rbd_client_release(), and one of the things it does is
delete the rbd_client from rbd_client_list.  It acquires node_lock
to do so, but the way it is done is still not safe.

The problem is that when attempting to reuse an existing rbd_client,
the structure found might already be in the process of getting
destroyed and cleaned up.

Here's the scenario, with "CLIENT" representing an existing
rbd_client that's involved in the race:

 Thread on CPU A                | Thread on CPU B
 ---------------                | ---------------
 rbd_put_client(CLIENT)         | rbd_get_client()
   kref_put()                   |   (acquires node_lock)
     kref->refcount becomes 0   |   __rbd_client_find() returns CLIENT
     calls rbd_client_release() |   kref_get(&CLIENT->kref);
                                |   (releases node_lock)
       (acquires node_lock)     |
       deletes CLIENT from list | ...and starts using CLIENT...
       (releases node_lock)     |
       and frees CLIENT         | <-- but CLIENT gets freed here

Fix this by having rbd_put_client() acquire node_lock.  The result
could still be improved, but at least it avoids this problem.
