RPC: Fix two potential races in put_rpccred
It is possible for rpcauth_destroy_credcache() to cause the rpc credentials
to be unhashed while put_rpccred is waiting for the rpc_credcache_lock on
another cpu. Should this happen, then we can end up calling
hlist_del_rcu(&cred->cr_hash) a second time in put_rpccred, thus causing
list corruption.
Should the credential actually be hashed, it is also possible for
rpcauth_lookup_credcache to find and reference it before we get round to
unhashing it. In this case, the call to rpcauth_unhash_cred will fail, and
so we should just exit without destroying the cred.
