When a task enters call_refreshresult with status 0 from call_refresh and !rpcauth_uptodatecred(task) it enters call_refresh again with no rate-limiting or max number of retries. Instead of trying forever, make use of the retry path that other errors use. This only seems to be possible when the crrefresh callback is gss_refresh_null, which only happens when destroying the context. To reproduce: 1) mount with sec=krb5 (or sec=sys with krb5 negotiated for non FSID specific operations). 2) reboot - the client will be stuck and will need to be hard rebooted BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!
