rxrpc: Make service call handling more robust



Make the following changes to improve the robustness of the code that sets
up a new service call:

 (1) Cache the rxrpc_sock struct obtained in rxrpc_data_ready() to do a
     service ID check and pass that along to rxrpc_new_incoming_call().
     This means that I can remove the check from rxrpc_new_incoming_call()
     without the need to worry about the socket attached to the local
     endpoint getting replaced - which would invalidate the check.

 (2) Cache the rxrpc_peer struct, thereby allowing the peer search to be
     done once.  The peer is passed to rxrpc_new_incoming_call(), thereby
     saving the need to repeat the search.

     This also reduces the possibility of rxrpc_publish_service_conn()
     BUG()'ing due to the detection of a duplicate connection, despite the
     initial search done by rxrpc_find_connection_rcu() having turned up
     nothing.

     This BUG() shouldn't ever get hit since rxrpc_data_ready() *should* be
     non-reentrant and the result of the initial search should still hold
     true, but it has proven possible to hit.

     I *think* this may be due to __rxrpc_lookup_peer_rcu() cutting short
     the iteration over the hash table if it finds a matching peer with a
     zero usage count, but I don't know for sure since it's only ever been
     hit once that I know of.

     Another possibility is that a bug in rxrpc_data_ready() that checked
     the wrong byte in the header for the RXRPC_CLIENT_INITIATED flag
     might've let through a packet that caused a spurious and invalid call
     to be set up.  That is addressed in another patch.

 (3) Fix __rxrpc_lookup_peer_rcu() to skip peer records that have a zero
     usage count rather than stopping and returning not found, just in case
     there's another peer record behind it in the bucket.

 (4) Don't search the peer records in rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call(), but
     rather either use the peer cached in (2) or, if one wasn't found,
     preemptively install a new one.
