svcrdma: Revert "svcrdma: Reduce Receive doorbell rate"
I tested commit 43042b90 ("svcrdma: Reduce Receive doorbell rate") with mlx4 (IB) and software iWARP and didn't find any issues. However, I recently got my hardware iWARP setup back on line (FastLinQ) and it's crashing hard on this commit (confirmed via bisect). The failure mode is complex. - After a connection is established, the first Receive completes normally. - But the second and third Receives have garbage in their Receive buffers. The server responds with ERR_VERS as a result. - When the client tears down the connection to retry, a couple of posted Receives flush twice, and that corrupts the recv_ctxt free list. - __svc_rdma_free then faults or loops infinitely while destroying the xprt's recv_ctxts. Since 43042b90 ("svcrdma: Reduce Receive doorbell rate") does not fix a bug but is a scalability enhancement, it's safe and appropriate to revert it while working on a replacement.
