SUNRPC: Prevent an rpc_task wakeup race

The lockless RPC_IS_QUEUED() test in __rpc_execute means that we need to
be careful about ordering the calls to rpc_test_and_set_running(task) and
rpc_clear_queued(task). If we get the order wrong, then we may end up
testing the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag after __rpc_execute() has looped
and changed the state of the rpc_task.
