[PATCH 1/2] svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock

From: J. Bruce Fields
Date: Fri Feb 15 2013 - 14:23:14 EST


svc_age_temp_xprts expires xprts in a two-step process: first it takes
the sv_lock and moves the xprts to expire off their server-wide list
(sv_tempsocks or sv_permsocks) to a local list. Then it drops the
sv_lock and enqueues and puts each one.

I see no reason for this: svc_xprt_enqueue() will take sp_lock, but the
sv_lock and sp_lock are not otherwise nested anywhere (and documentation
at the top of this file claims it's correct to nest these with sp_lock
inside.)
