A static bug finder (EBA) on Linux 4.7:

    Double lock in net/ceph/auth.c
    second lock at 108: mutex_lock(& ac->mutex); [ceph_auth_build_hello]
    after calling from 263: ret = ceph_auth_build_hello(ac, msg_buf, msg_len);
    if ! ac->protocol -> true at 262
    first lock at 261: mutex_lock(& ac->mutex); [ceph_build_auth]

ceph_auth_build_hello() is never called, because the protocol is always
initialized, whether we are checking existing tickets (in delayed_work())
or getting new ones after invalidation (in invalidate_authorizer()).
