Subject: [PATCH 4.9 42/42] SUNRPC: use _bh spinlocking on ->transport_lock

From: "NeilBrown" <neilb@...e.de>

Prior to Linux 5.3, ->transport_lock in sunrpc required the _bh style
spinlocks (when not called from a bottom-half handler).

When upstream 3848e96edf4788f772d83990022fa7023a233d83 was backported to
stable kernels, the spin_lock/unlock calls should have been changed to
the _bh version, but this wasn't noted in the patch and didn't happen.

So convert these lock/unlock calls to the _bh versions.

This patch is required for any stable kernel prior to 5.3 to which the
above mentioned patch was backported.  Namely 4.9.y, 4.14.y, 4.19.y.
