struct rxrpc_call *call);
bool rxrpc_kernel_check_life(struct socket *sock,

The first function returns a number that is updated when ACKs are received
from the peer (notably including PING RESPONSE ACKs which we can elicit by
sending PING ACKs to see if the call still exists on the server). The
caller should compare the numbers of two calls to see if the call is still
alive after waiting for a suitable interval.

returns true as long as the call hasn't yet reached the completed state.
This allows the caller to work out if the server is still contactable and
if the call is still alive on the server while waiting for the server to
