SUNRPC: Fix a race in rpciod_down()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The commit 4ada539 lead to the unpleasant
possibility of an asynchronous rpc_task being required to call
rpciod_down() when it is complete. This again means that the rpciod
workqueue may get to call destroy_workqueue on itself -> hang...

Change rpciod_up/rpciod_down to just get/put the module, and then
create/destroy the workqueues on module load/unload.
