+[ Upstream commit c43ffdcfdbb5567b1f143556df8a04b4eeea041c ]
+
+Only process RESPONSE packets while the service connection is still in
+RXRPC_CONN_SERVICE_CHALLENGING. Check that state under state_lock before
+running response verification and security initialization, then use a local
+secured flag to decide whether to queue the secured-connection work after
+the state transition. This keeps duplicate or late RESPONSE packets from
+re-running the setup path and removes the unlocked post-transition state
+test.
