David Howells 6d80983dd0 rxrpc: Fix missing active use pinning of rxrpc_local object 
[ Upstream commit 04d36d748f ]

The introduction of a split between the reference count on rxrpc_local
objects and the usage count didn't quite go far enough.  A number of kernel
work items need to make use of the socket to perform transmission.  These
also need to get an active count on the local object to prevent the socket
from being closed.

Fix this by getting the active count in those places.

Also split out the raw active count get/put functions as these places tend
to hold refs on the rxrpc_local object already, so getting and putting an
extra object ref is just a waste of time.

The problem can lead to symptoms like:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

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.
