This patch also seems to fix the problem I've been seeing.
Yes, I wasn't sure about my patch - I didn't spend much time properly
reading and understanding the sunrpc code, beyond analysing what was
going on to cause the problem and deciding on a way to stop it happening.
I really wasn't sure that clearing the connecting flag everywhere I did
was the right thing, which is why I didn't send the patch properly
dressed up.
