In cases where an rpc client has a parent hierarchy, then
rpc_free_client may end up calling rpc_release_client() on the
parent, thus recursing back into rpc_free_client. If the hierarchy
is deep enough, then we can get into situations where the stack
simply overflows.

The fix is to have rpc_release_client() loop so that it can take
care of the parent rpc client hierarchy without needing to
recurse.

v2: Don't recurse if parent == NULL (Doh!)
