Refactor: Extract the loop that finds an idle service thread from svc_xprt_enqueue() and svc_wake_up(). Both functions do just about the same thing. Note that svc_wake_up() currently does not hold the RCU read lock while waking the target thread. It indeed should hold the lock, just as svc_xprt_enqueue() does, to ensure the rqstp does not vanish during the wake-up. This patch adds the RCU lock for svc_wake_up(). Note that shrinking the pool thread count is rare, and calls to svc_wake_up() are also quite infrequent. In practice, this race is very unlikely to be hit, so we are not marking the lock fix for stable backport at this time.

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.
