SUNRPC: Prevent an rpc_task wakeup race
The lockless RPC_IS_QUEUED() test in __rpc_execute means that we need to be careful about ordering the calls to rpc_test_and_set_running(task) and rpc_clear_queued(task). If we get the order wrong, then we may end up testing the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag after __rpc_execute() has looped and changed the state of the rpc_task.
