All the server credits and in-flight info is protected by req_lock.
Once the req_lock is held, and we've determined that we have enough
credits to continue, this lock cannot be dropped till we've made the
changes to credits and in-flight count.
However, we used to drop the lock in order to avoid deadlock with
the recent srv_lock. This could cause the checks already made to be
invalidated.
Fixed it by moving the server status check to before locking req_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
