The calldata gets freed in the rpc_final_put_task() which shouldn't ever be run while the task is still referenced in __rpc_execute

IOW: it should be impossible to call rpc_exit_task() after rpc_final_put_task

I added lots of locking around the calldata, work-queue logic, and such, and
still the problem persists w/out hitting any of the debug warnings or poisoned
values I put in.  It almost seems like tk_calldata is just assigned to two
different tasks.

While poking through the code, I noticed that 'map' is static in rpcb_getport_async.

That would seem to cause problems if two threads called this method at
the same time, possibly causing tk_calldata to be assigned to two different
tasks???

Any idea why it is static?

I'm going to start another test run with this non-static
to see if that resolves things...

Thanks,
Ben
