Here's a pair of patches that fix two issues in the handling of local
endpoints (rxrpc_local structs):

 (1) Use list_replace_init() rather than list_replace() if we're going to
     unconditionally delete the replaced item later, lest the list get
     corrupted.

 (2) Don't access the rxrpc_local object after passing our ref to the
     workqueue, not even to illuminate tracepoints, as the work function
     may cause the object to be freed.  We have to cache the information
     beforehand.

The patches are tagged here:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git
	rxrpc-fixes-20190814

and can also be found on the following branch:

Pulled, thanks David.
