Huh.  Looking at the history....  There used to be a

	if (test_and_set_bit(XPRT_INITIALIZED, &xprt->state))
		/* ->setup returned a pre-initialized xprt: */
		return xprt;

here, but it got removed by 21de0a955f3af29fa1100d96f66e6adade89e77a
"SUNRPC: Clean up the slot table allocation", which looks otherwise
unrelated.  Was that just some kind of rebasing mistake, or was there a
reason for that?
