SUNRPC: Refactor svc_recvfrom()
This function is not currently "generic" so remove the documenting
comment and rename it appropriately. Its internals are converted to
use bio_vecs for reading from the transport socket.
In existing typical sunrpc uses of bio_vecs, the bio_vec array is
allocated dynamically. Here, instead, an array of bio_vecs is added
to svc_rqst. The lifetime of this array can be greater than one call
to xpo_recvfrom():
- Multiple calls to xpo_recvfrom() might be needed to read an RPC
message completely.
- At some later point, rq_arg.bvecs will point to this array and it
will carry the received message into svc_process().
I also expect that a future optimization will remove either the
rq_vec or rq_pages array in favor of rq_bvec, thus conserving the
size of struct svc_rqst.
