Subject: [PATCH] rxrpc: Fix socket notification race

There's a race between rxrpc_recvmsg() and rxrpc_notify_socket(), whereby
the latter's attempt to avoid disabling interrupts and taking the socket's
recvmsg_lock if the call is already queued may happen simultaneously with
the former's discarding of a call that has nothing queued.

Fix this by removing the shortcut.  Note that this only affects userspace's
use of AF_RXRPC; the AFS filesystem driver doesn't use the socket queue.

Fixes: 248f219cb8bc ("rxrpc: Rewrite the data and ack handling code")
