SUNRPC: double free xprt_ctxt while still in use

When an RPC request is deferred, the rq_xprt_ctxt pointer is moved out
of the svc_rqst into the svc_deferred_req.
When the deferred request is revisited, the pointer is copied into
the new svc_rqst - and also remains in the svc_deferred_req.

In the (rare?) case that the request is deferred a second time, the old
svc_deferred_req is reused - it still has all the correct content.
However in that case the rq_xprt_ctxt pointer is NOT cleared so that
when xpo_release_xprt is called, the ctxt is freed (UDP) or possible
added to a free list (RDMA).
When the deferred request is revisited for a second time, it will
reference this ctxt which may be invalid, and the free the object a
second time which is likely to oops.

So change svc_defer() to *always* clear rq_xprt_ctxt, and assert that
the value is now stored in the svc_deferred_req.
