sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() can detect a race if CACHE_PENDING is no longer
set.  In this case it aborts the queuing of the upcall.
However it has already taken a new counted reference on "h" and
doesn't "put" it, even though it frees the data structure holding the reference.

So let's delay the "cache_get" until we know we need it.

<content type='text'>
Calling ib_poll_cq() to sort through WCs during a completion is a
common pattern amongst RDMA consumers. Since commit 14d3a3b2498e
("IB: add a proper completion queue abstraction"), WC sorting can
be handled by the IB core.

By converting to this new API, xprtrdma is made a better neighbor to
other RDMA consumers, as it allows the core to schedule the delivery
of completions more fairly amongst all active consumers.

Because each ib_cqe carries a pointer to a completion method, the
core can now post its own operations on a consumer's QP, and handle
the completions itself, without changes to the consumer.

Send completions were previously handled entirely in the completion
upcall handler (ie, deferring to a process context is unneeded).
Thus IB_POLL_SOFTIRQ is a direct replacement for the current
xprtrdma send code path.

Calling ib_poll_cq() to sort through WCs during a completion is a
common pattern amongst RDMA consumers. Since commit 14d3a3b2498e
("IB: add a proper completion queue abstraction"), WC sorting can
be handled by the IB core.

By converting to this new API, xprtrdma is made a better neighbor to
other RDMA consumers, as it allows the core to schedule the delivery
of completions more fairly amongst all active consumers.

Because each ib_cqe carries a pointer to a completion method, the
core can now post its own operations on a consumer's QP, and handle
the completions itself, without changes to the consumer.

xprtrdma's reply processing is already handled in a work queue, but
there is some initial order-dependent processing that is done in the
soft IRQ context before a work item is scheduled.

IB_POLL_SOFTIRQ is a direct replacement for the current xprtrdma
receive code path.

Commit fe97b47cd623 ("xprtrdma: Use workqueue to process RPC/RDMA
replies") replaced the reply tasklet with a workqueue that allows
RPC replies to be processed in parallel. Thus the credit values in
RPC-over-RDMA replies can be applied in a different order than in
which the server sent them.

To fix this, revert commit eba8ff660b2d ("xprtrdma: Move credit
update to RPC reply handler"). Reverting is done by hand to
accommodate code changes that have occurred since then.

Fixes: fe97b47cd623 ("xprtrdma: Use workqueue to process . . .")

These are shorter than RPCRDMA_HDRLEN_MIN, and they need to
complete the waiting RPC.
