+Subject: SUNRPC: Set alloc_slot for backchannel tcp ops
+
+commit 84e28a307e376f271505af65a7b7e212dd6f61f4 upstream.
+
+f39c1bfb5a03e2d255451bff05be0d7255298fa4 (SUNRPC: Fix a UDP transport
+regression) introduced the "alloc_slot" function for xprt operations,
+but never created one for the backchannel operations.  This patch fixes
+a null pointer dereference when mounting NFS over v4.1.
+
