Subject: [25/75] SUNRPC: Ensure we always bump the backlog queue in xprt_free_slot

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit c25573b5134294c0be82bfaecc6d08136835b271 upstream.

Whenever we free a slot, we know that the resulting xprt->num_reqs will
be less than xprt->max_reqs, so we know that we can release at least one
backlogged rpc_task.
