Subject: [PATCH 3.16 252/305] SUNRPC: Fix a potential race in xprt_connect()

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

commit 0a9a4304f3614e25d9de9b63502ca633c01c0d70 upstream.

If an asynchronous connection attempt completes while another task is
in xprt_connect(), then the call to rpc_sleep_on() could end up
racing with the call to xprt_wake_pending_tasks().
So add a second test of the connection state after we've put the
task to sleep and set the XPRT_CONNECTING flag, when we know that there
can be no asynchronous connection attempts still in progress.

Fixes: 0b9e79431377d ("SUNRPC: Move the test for XPRT_CONNECTING into...")
