[PATCH 04/88] svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock

3.5.7.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields at redhat.com>

commit e75bafbff2270993926abcc31358361db74a9bc2 upstream.

svc_age_temp_xprts expires xprts in a two-step process: first it takes
the sv_lock and moves the xprts to expire off their server-wide list
(sv_tempsocks or sv_permsocks) to a local list.  Then it drops the
sv_lock and enqueues and puts each one.

I see no reason for this: svc_xprt_enqueue() will take sp_lock, but the
sv_lock and sp_lock are not otherwise nested anywhere (and documentation
at the top of this file claims it's correct to nest these with sp_lock
inside.)
