Overhaul the usage count accounting for the rxrpc_connection struct to make
it easier to implement RCU access from the data_ready handler.
The problem is that currently we're using a lock to prevent the garbage
collector from trying to clean up a connection that we're contemplating
unidling. We could just stick incoming packets on the connection we find,
but we've then got a problem that we may race when dispatching a work item
to process it as we need to give that a ref to prevent the rxrpc_connection
struct from disappearing in the meantime.
Further, incoming packets may get discarded if attached to an
rxrpc_connection struct that is going away. Whilst this is not a total
disaster - the client will presumably resend - it would delay processing of
the call. This would affect the AFS client filesystem's service manager
operation.
To this end:
(1) We now maintain an extra count on the connection usage count whilst it
is on the connection list. This mean it is not in use when its
refcount is 1.
(2) When trying to reuse an old connection, we only increment the refcount
if it is greater than 0. If it is 0, we replace it in the tree with a
new candidate connection.
(3) Two connection flags are added to indicate whether or not a connection
is in the local's client connection tree (used by sendmsg) or the
peer's service connection tree (used by data_ready). This makes sure
that we don't try and remove a connection if it got replaced.
The flags are tested under lock with the removal operation to prevent
the reaper from killing the rxrpc_connection struct whilst someone
else is trying to effect a replacement.
This could probably be alleviated by using memory barriers between the
flag set/test and the rb_tree ops. The rb_tree op would still need to
be under the lock, however.
(4) When trying to reap an old connection, we try to flip the usage count
from 1 to 0. If it's not 1 at that point, then it must've come back
to life temporarily and we ignore it.

Split the client-specific connection code out into its own file. It will
behave somewhat differently from the service-specific connection code, so
it makes sense to separate them.

Check that the client conns cache is empty before module removal and bug if
not, listing any offending connections that are still present. Unfortunately,
if there are connections still around, then the transport socket is still
unexpectedly open and active, so we can't just unallocate the connections.

Kill off the concept of maintaining a bundle of connections to a particular
target service to increase the number of call slots available for any
beyond four for that service (there are four call slots per connection).
This will make cleaning up the connection handling code easier and
facilitate removal of the rxrpc_transport struct. Bundling can be
reintroduced later if necessary.

Use the IDR facility to allocate client connection IDs on a machine-wide
basis so that each client connection has a unique identifier. When the
connection ID space wraps, we advance the epoch by 1, thereby effectively
having a 62-bit ID space. The IDR facility is then used to look up client
connections during incoming packet routing instead of using an rbtree
rooted on the transport.
This change allows for the removal of the transport in the future and also
means that client connections can be looked up directly in the data-ready
handler by connection ID.
The ID management code is placed in a new file, conn-client.c, to which all
the client connection-specific code will eventually move.
Note that the IDR tree gets very expensive on memory if the connection IDs
are widely scattered throughout the number space, so we shall need to
retire connections that have, say, an ID more than four times the maximum
number of client conns away from the current allocation point to try and
keep the IDs concentrated. We will also need to retire connections from an
old epoch.
Also note that, for the moment, a pointer to the transport has to be passed
through into the ID allocation function so that we can take a BH lock to
prevent a locking issue against in-BH lookup of client connections. This
will go away later when RCU is used for server connections also.
