sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() can detect a race if CACHE_PENDING is no longer
set. In this case it aborts the queuing of the upcall.
However it has already taken a new counted reference on "h" and
doesn't "put" it, even though it frees the data structure holding the reference.
So let's delay the "cache_get" until we know we need it.
Fixes: f9e1aedc6c79 ("sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall.")

I found this when I was looking for something else. Testing hasn't
shown a bug, and nor has it shown that this is bug-free. But it looks
right.
