xprtrdma: Close window between waking RPC senders and posting Receives
A recent clean up attempted to separate Receive handling and RPC Reply processing, in the name of clean layering. Unfortunately, we can't do this because the Receive Queue has to be refilled _after_ the most recent credit update from the responder is parsed from the transport header, but _before_ we wake up the next RPC sender. That is right in the middle of rpcrdma_reply_handler(). Usually this isn't a problem because current responder implementations don't vary their credit grant. The one exception is when a connection is established: the grant goes from one to a much larger number on the first Receive. The requester MUST post enough Receives right then so that any outstanding requests can be sent without risking RNR and connection loss.
