[PATCH 5/4] sunrpc: protect the svc_pool_map pool_to[] array with RCU

svc_pool_map_get_node() reads the global svc_pool_map without holding
svc_pool_map_mutex and dereferences m->pool_to[]. The array was both
published and torn down without any synchronisation against that
lockless reader:

 - svc_pool_map_get() incremented m->count to one before
   svc_pool_map_init_pernode() allocated and filled the arrays, so a
   reader observing the map as "in use" could see a NULL (or partially
   built) pool_to[] and oops.

 - svc_pool_map_put() freed the arrays as soon as the last reference
   went away, so a reader that had already started dereferencing
   pool_to[] could use it after free.

svc_new_thread() takes this lockless path for every service, including
unpooled ones that hold no map reference, so the reader genuinely can
run concurrently with another service's startup or shutdown.

Publish pool_to[] with rcu_assign_pointer() only after it is fully
built in a private allocation, and have svc_pool_map_get_node()
dereference it under rcu_read_lock(). On teardown, clear the pointer
and defer the free past a grace period with kfree_rcu_mightsleep().

svc_pool_map_set_cpumask() also reads pool_to[], but its caller holds a
map reference (it checks sv_nrpools > 1) so the array is stable; it uses
rcu_dereference_protected() rather than taking the read lock.

to_pool[] needs no such treatment: it is only read by services that
hold a map reference, so it cannot be freed under a reader.

Sashiko pointed out this (preexisting) problem during review of the
other 4 in the series. I figure we might as well fix it too while we're
in here.
