Andrew Deason d5e1428a3b afs: Drop GLOCK for various Rx calls
Most calls into Rx from libafs do so without the AFS_GLOCK, but a few
pieces of code still hold AFS_GLOCK while making some Rx calls. A few
calls into Rx also currently require AFS_GLOCK, but drop AFS_GLOCK
internally, which is somewhat confusing/inconsistent. Calling Rx
functions with AFS_GLOCK held can potentially cause locking/allocation
problems on various platforms, such as FreeBSD where we get WITNESS
warnings about acquiring sleepable Rx locks while holding the
non-sleepable AFS_GLOCK.

Fix a variety of Rx calls from libafs to drop AFS_GLOCK before calling
into Rx. Specifically, this commit handles calls to rxi_GetIFInfo,
rx_InitHost, rx_StartServer, rx_ServerProc, rx_GetConnection,
rx_DestroyConnection/rx_PutConnection, and
rx_SetConnSecondsUntilNatPing.

For calls made via afs_start_thread, adjust afs_start_thread to accept
a new argument that says whether to acquire AFS_GLOCK for the relevant
function or not.

For a call to rx_InitHost inside afs_InitSetup, dropping GLOCK makes
it possible for another thread to also enter afs_InitSetup while we're
running, before afs_InitSetup_done is set. To prevent two threads from
running afs_InitSetup in parallel, introduce afs_InitSetup_running
(which is set while afs_InitSetup is running), and simply wait for it
to be cleared if it is set when we enter afs_InitSetup.

This commit does not handle strictly all calls into Rx from libafs,
since many Rx calls don't do anything interesting besides set some
internal variables, and so AFS_GLOCK doesn't really matter for them,
and dropping/reacquiring it around those calls may have performance
impact.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
