We saw a report of a NULL dereference in xprt_autoclose:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=611938

This appears to be the result of an xprt's task_cleanup running after
the xprt is destroyed.  Nothing in the current code appears to prevent
that.

Hmm... On the other hand, since xprt_destroy() may get called from
inside the rpciod_workqueue, the wait_on_bit_lock() may end up
deadlocking.

Nevermind, then. Let's go with the cancel_work_sync().
Here you are--only if you don't have something equivalent already queued
