SUNRPC: Add the equivalent of the linger and linger2 timeouts to RPC sockets
This fixes a regression against FreeBSD servers as reported by Tomas Kasparek. Apparently when using RPC over a TCP socket, the FreeBSD servers don't ever react to the client closing the socket, and so commit e06799f9 (SUNRPC: Use shutdown() instead of close() when disconnecting a TCP socket) causes the setup to hang forever whenever the client attempts to close and then reconnect. We break the deadlock by adding a 'linger2' style timeout to the socket, after which, the client will abort the connection using a TCP 'RST'. The default timeout is set to 15 seconds. A subsequent patch will put it under user control by means of a systctl. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
