SubjectRe: Deadlock in net/sunrpc/sched.c

We may end up list_del'ing a task that is not queued
anymore: we may be interrupted just after the RPC_IS_QUEUED test.
Don't you think this patch could be enough?

We don't need to __rpc_wake_up_task a task that is already
rpc_start_wakeup'ed after all. BTW, there are other while
(!list_empty(head)) on sched.c that could need a similar rewrite.
