SUNRPC: Fix NFSD's request deferral on RDMA transports
Trond Myklebust reports an NFSD crash in svc_rdma_sendto(). Further investigation shows that the crash occurred while NFSD was handling a deferred request. This patch addresses two inter-related issues that prevent request deferral from working correctly for RPC/RDMA requests: 1. Prevent the crash by ensuring that the original svc_rqst::rq_xprt_ctxt value is available when the request is revisited. Otherwise svc_rdma_sendto() does not have a Receive context available with which to construct its reply. 2. Possibly since before commit 71641d99 ("svcrdma: Properly compute .len and .buflen for received RPC Calls"), svc_rdma_recvfrom() did not include the transport header in the returned xdr_buf. There should have been no need for svc_defer() and friends to save and restore that header, as of that commit. This issue is addressed in a backport-friendly way by simply having svc_rdma_recvfrom() set rq_xprt_hlen to zero unconditionally, just as svc_tcp_recvfrom() does. This enables svc_deferred_recv() to correctly reconstruct an RPC message received via RPC/RDMA.
