> 
>  (1) Fix a potential NULL-pointer deref in rxrpc_abort_calls().
> 
>  (2) Condense all the terminal call state machine states to a single one
>      plus supplementary info.
> 
>  (3) Add a trace point for rxrpc call usage debugging.
> 
>  (4) Cleanups and missing headers.
> 
>  (5) Provide a way for AFS to ask about a call's peer address without
>      having an sk_buff to query.
> 
>  (6) Use call->peer directly rather than going via call->conn (which might
>      be NULL).
> 
>  (7) Pass struct socket * to various rxrpc kernel interface functions so
>      they can use that directly rather than getting it from the rxrpc_call
>      struct.
