Subject: [PATCH 52/78] libceph: protect ceph_con_open() with mutex

commit 5469155f2bc83bb2c88b0a0370c3d54d87eed06e upstream.

Take the con mutex while we are initiating a ceph open.  This is necessary
because the may have previously been in use and then closed, which could
result in a racing workqueue running con_work().
