SUNRPC: always free ctxt when freeing deferred request

Since the ->xprt_ctxt pointer was added to svc_deferred_req, it has not
been sufficient to use kfree() to free a deferred request.  We may need
to free the ctxt as well.

As freeing the ctxt is all that ->xpo_release_rqst() does, we repurpose
it to explicit do that even when the ctxt is not stored in an rqst.
So we now have ->xpo_release_ctxt() which is given an xprt and a ctxt,
which may have been taken either from an rqst or from a dreq.  The
caller is now responsible for clearing that pointer after the call to
->xpo_release_ctxt.

We also clear dr->xprt_ctxt when the ctxt is moved into a new rqst when
revisiting a deferred request.  This ensures there is only one pointer
to the ctxt, so the risk of double freeing in future is reduced.  The
new code in svc_xprt_release which releases both the ctxt and any
rq_deferred depends on this.
