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.
