Ignore the previous patch, which was really v1.

Encountered the following BUG() with 4.3-rc1 on a fast model
for arm64 with NFS root filesystem.

So it looks like just before we lock the callbacks in xs_reset_transport,
a few of the callbacks got through and issued the reset before we could
lock it. And we end up repeating the cleanups, ending up in the above
BUG() due to multiple sock_release().

This patch fixes the race by confirming that somebody else hasn't performed
the reset while we were waiting for the lock. Also, the transport->sock is
only accessed within the lock to prevent using a stale sock for kernel_sock_shutdown().
