[PATCH v2] net: sunrpc: svcsock: fix NULL-pointer exception

From: Vadim Lomovtsev
Date: Mon Aug 21 2017 - 04:45:25 EST

While running nfs/connectathon tests kernel NULL-pointer exception
has been observed due to races in svcsock.c.

Race is appear when kernel accepts connection by kernel_accept
(which creates new socket) and start queuing ingress packets
to new socket. This happens in ksoftirq context which could run
concurrently on a different core while new socket setup is not done yet.

The fix is to re-order socket user data init sequence and add
write/read barrier calls to be sure that we got proper values
for callback pointers before actually calling them.

Test results: nfs/connectathon reports '0' failed tests for about 200+ iterations.
