    sunrpc: Fix misplaced barrier in call_decode · f8f7e0fb

    Fix a misplaced barrier in call_decode. The struct rpc_rqst is modified
    as follows by xprt_complete_rqst:
    
    req->rq_private_buf.len = copied;
    /* Ensure all writes are done before we update */
    /* req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd */
    smp_wmb();
    req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd = copied;
    
    And currently read as follows by call_decode:
    
    smp_rmb(); // misplaced
    if (!req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd)
       goto out;
    req->rq_rcv_buf.len = req->rq_private_buf.len;
    
    This patch places the smp_rmb after the if to ensure that
    rq_reply_bytes_recvd and rq_private_buf.len are read in order.
