Subject: [ 069/171] ceph: dont set WRITE_PENDING too early

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

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

From: Alex Elder <elder@...tank.com>

(cherry picked from commit e10c758e4031a801ea4d2f8fb39bf14c2658d74b)

prepare_write_connect() prepares a connect message, then sets
WRITE_PENDING on the connection.  Then *after* this, it calls
prepare_connect_authorizer(), which updates the content of the
connection buffer already queued for sending.  It's also possible it
will result in prepare_write_connect() returning -EAGAIN despite the
WRITE_PENDING big getting set.

Fix this by preparing the connect authorizer first, setting the
WRITE_PENDING bit only after that is done.

Partially addresses http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/2424
