David Howells 9a19bad70c rxrpc: Fix oops when discarding a preallocated service call
rxrpc_service_prealloc_one() doesn't set the socket pointer on any new call
it preallocates, but does add it to the rxrpc net namespace call list.
This, however, causes rxrpc_put_call() to oops when the call is discarded
when the socket is closed.  rxrpc_put_call() needs the socket to be able to
reach the namespace so that it can use a lock held therein.

Fix this by setting a call's socket pointer immediately before discarding
it.

This can be triggered by unloading the kafs module, resulting in an oops
like the following:

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
