From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit f3a123b25429dc03508e3bf598373005220b7203 ]
Provide a way for the application (e.g. the afs filesystem) to store
private data on the rxrpc_peer structs for later retrieval via the call
object.
This will allow afs to store a pointer to the afs_server object on the
rxrpc_peer struct, thereby obviating the need for afs to keep lookup tables
by which it can associate an incoming call with server that transmitted it.
