rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() invokes xprt_switch_get() and xprt_get(),
which returns a reference of the rpc_xprt_switch object to "data->xps"
and a reference of the rpc_xprt object to "data->xprt" with increased
refcount.
When rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() returns, local variable "data" and its
field "xps" as well as "xprt" becomes invalid, so their refcounts should
be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling paths of
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt(). When rpc_call_null_helper() returns
IS_ERR, the refcnt increased by xprt_switch_get() and xprt_get() are not
decreased, causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling rpc_cb_add_xprt_release() to decrease related
refcounted fields in "data" and then release it when
rpc_call_null_helper() returns IS_ERR.

struct rpc_clnt")
