6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit e4d2878369d590bf8455e3678a644e503172eafa ]

The rxrpc_assess_MTU_size() function calls down into the IP layer to find
out the MTU size for a route.  When accepting an incoming call, this is
called from rxrpc_new_incoming_call() which holds interrupts disabled
across the code that calls down to it.  Unfortunately, the IP layer uses
local_bh_enable() which, config dependent, throws a warning if IRQs are
enabled:

Fix this by moving the call to rxrpc_assess_MTU_size() out of
rxrpc_init_peer() and further up the stack where it can be done without
interrupts disabled.

It shouldn't be a problem for rxrpc_new_incoming_call() to do it after the
locks are dropped as pmtud is going to be performed by the I/O thread - and
we're in the I/O thread at this point.
