sunrpc: Prevent duplicate XID allocation
Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org> reports that a heavy NFSv4 WRITE workload against a slow NFS server causes his Raspberry Pi clients to stall. Krzysztof bisected it to commit 37ac86c3 ("SUNRPC: Initialize rpc_rqst outside of xprt->reserve_lock") . I was able to reproduce similar behavior and it appears that rarely the RPC client layer is re-allocating an XID for an RPC that it has already partially sent. This results in the client ignoring the subsequent reply, which carries the original XID. For various reasons, checking !req->rq_xmit_bytes_sent in xprt_prepare_transmit is not a 100% reliable mechanism for determining when a fresh XID is needed. Trond's preference is to allocate the XID at the time each rpc_rqst slot is initialized. This patch should also address a gcc 4.1.2 complaint reported by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>.
