Now that rxrpc_put_local() may call kthread_stop(), it can't be called
under spinlock as it might sleep. This can cause a problem in the peer
keepalive code in rxrpc as it tries to avoid dropping the peer_hash_lock
from the point it needs to re-add peer->keepalive_link to going round the
loop again in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_dispatch().
Fix this by just dropping the lock when we don't need it and accepting that
we'll have to take it again. This code is only called about every 20s for
each peer, so not very often.
This allows rxrpc_put_peer_unlocked() to be removed also.
If triggered, this bug produces an oops like the following, as reproduced
by a syzbot reproducer for a different oops[1]:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched/completion.c:101

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.
