RDS: don't call rds_conn_shutdown() from rds_conn_destroy()
rds_conn_shutdown() can return before the connection is shut down when it encounters an existing state that it doesn't understand. This lets rds_conn_destroy() then start tearing down the conn from under paths that are still using it. It's more reliable the shutdown work and wait for krdsd to complete the shutdown callback. This stopped some hangs I was seeing where krdsd was trying to shut down a freed conn. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
