rxrpc: Fix a race between socket set up and I/O thread creation
In rxrpc_open_socket(), it sets up the socket and then sets up the I/O
thread that will handle it. This is a problem, however, as there's a gap
between the two phases in which a packet may come into rxrpc_encap_rcv()
from the UDP packet but we oops when trying to wake the not-yet created I/O
thread.
As a quick fix, just make rxrpc_encap_rcv() discard the packet if there's
no I/O thread yet.
A better, but more intrusive fix would perhaps be to rearrange things such
that the socket creation is done by the I/O thread.
