rpc/clnt: remove locks while notifying CONNECT/DISCONNECT
Locking during notify was introduced as part of commit aa22f24f5db7659387704998ae01520708869873 [1]. The fix was introduced to fix out-of-order CONNECT/DISCONNECT events from rpc-clnt to parent xlators [2]. However as part of handling DISCONNECT protocol/client does unwind saved frames (with failure) waiting for responses. This saved_frames_unwind can be a costly operation and hence ideally shouldn't be included in the critical section of notifylock, as it unnecessarily delays the reconnection to same brick. Also, its not a good practise to pass control to other xlators holding a lock as it can lead to deadlocks. So, this patch removes locking in rpc-clnt while notifying parent xlators. To fix [2], two changes are present in this patch: * notify DISCONNECT before cleaning up rpc connection (same as commit a6b63e11b7758cf1bfcb6798, patch [3]). * protocol/client uses rpc_clnt_cleanup_and_start, which cleans up rpc connection and does a start while handling a DISCONNECT event from rpc. Note that patch [3] was reverted as rpc_clnt_start called in quick_reconnect path of protocol/client didn't invoke connect on transport as the connection was not cleaned up _yet_ (as cleanup was moved post notification in rpc-clnt). This resulted in clients never attempting connect to bricks. Note that one of the neater ways to fix [2] (without using locks) is to introduce generation numbers to map CONNECT and DISCONNECTS across epochs and ignore DISCONNECT events if they don't belong to current epoch. However, this approach is a bit complex to implement and requires time. So, current patch is a hacky stop-gap fix till we come up with a more cleaner solution.
