re: rxrpc: Fix deadlock between call creation and sendmsg/recvmsg

I think the following part of the patch is problematic:
call = rxrpc_find_call_by_user_ID(rx, user_call_ID);
if (!call) {
+ ret = -EBADSLT;
if (cmd != RXRPC_CMD_SEND_DATA)
- return -EBADSLT;
+ goto error_release_sock;
+ ret = -EBUSY;
At this point call is null, so the following code is performing a null
pointer dereference on call when accessing call->state.
Detected by CoverityScan CID#1414316 ("Dereference after null check")
+ if (call->state == RXRPC_CALL_UNINITIALISED ||
+ call->state == RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_CONN ||
+ call->state == RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_PREALLOC ||
+ call->state == RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING ||
+ call->state == RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACCEPTING)
+ goto error_release_sock;
call = rxrpc_new_client_call_for_sendmsg(rx, msg,
user_call_ID,
