sunrpc: fix cache_head leak due to queued request
commit 4ecd55ea upstream. After commit d202cce8, an expired cache_head can be removed from the cache_detail's hash. However, the expired cache_head may be waiting for a reply from a previously submitted request. Such a cache_head has an increased refcounter and therefore it won't be freed after cache_put(freeme). Because the cache_head was removed from the hash it cannot be found during cache_clean() and can be leaked forever, together with stalled cache_request and other taken resources. In our case we noticed it because an entry in the export cache was holding a reference on a filesystem.
