[PATCH 13/17] drbd: fix race between handshake and admin disconnect/down

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>

conn_try_disconnect() could potentialy hit the BUG_ON()
in _conn_set_state() where it iterates over _drbd_set_state()
and "asserts" via BUG_ON() that the latter was successful.

If the STATE_SENT bit was not yet visible to conn_is_valid_transition()
early in _conn_request_state(), but became visible before conn_set_state()
later in that call path, we could hit the BUG_ON() after _drbd_set_state(),
because it returned SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE.

To avoid that race, we better protect set_bit(SENT_STATE) with the spinlock.
