[Devel] [PATCH VZ10] fs/fuse kio: don't touch sio in pcs_sockio_xmit() after connection abort

pcs_sockio_xmit() calls pcs_sockio_recv() and then unconditionally
pcs_sockio_send() on the same sio. If recv hits a socket error, it
calls sio_abort(), which leads to call_rcu(sio_destroy_rcu). Since
pcs_sockio_xmit() is not inside an RCU read-side critical section,
so the grace period may elapse and sio may be freed before (or while)
pcs_sockio_send() dereferences it, a narrow use-after-free window.

rpc_abort() clears ep->conn under ep->mutex before destructing the
ioconn, and pcs_sockio_xmit() runs under the same mutex, so recheck
ep->conn after recv and skip the send if the connection is gone.
