Fix error distribution by immediately delivering the errors to all the
affected calls rather than deferring them to a worker thread. The problem
with the latter is that retries and things can happen in the meantime when we
want to stop that sooner.
To this end:
(1) Stop the error distributor from removing calls from the error_targets
list so that peer->lock isn't needed to synchronise against other adds
and removals.
(2) Require the peer's error_targets list to be accessed with RCU, thereby
avoiding the need to take peer->lock over distribution.
(3) Don't attempt to affect a call's state if it is already marked complete.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
