The addition of rpc_check_timeout() to call_decode causes an Oops
when the RPCSEC_GSS credential is rejected.
The reason is that rpc_decode_header() will call xprt_release() in
order to free task->tk_rqstp, which is needed by rpc_check_timeout()
to check whether or not we should exit due to a soft timeout.
The fix is to move the call to xprt_release() into call_decode() so
we can perform it after rpc_check_timeout().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
