rxrpc: Fix missing active use pinning of rxrpc_local object [ Upstream commit 04d36d748fac349b068ef621611f454010054c58 ] The introduction of a split between the reference count on rxrpc_local objects and the usage count didn't quite go far enough. A number of kernel work items need to make use of the socket to perform transmission. These also need to get an active count on the local object to prevent the socket from being closed. Fix this by getting the active count in those places. Also split out the raw active count get/put functions as these places tend to hold refs on the rxrpc_local object already, so getting and putting an extra object ref is just a waste of time. The problem can lead to symptoms like: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018 .. CPU: 2 PID: 818 Comm: kworker/u9:0 Not tainted 5.5.0-fscache+ #51 ...
