svcrdma: Defer send context release to xpo_release_ctxt

Send completion currently queues a work item to an unbound
workqueue for each completed send context. Under load, the
Send Completion handlers contend for the shared workqueue
pool lock.

Replace the workqueue with a per-transport lock-free list
(llist). The Send completion handler appends the send_ctxt
to sc_send_release_list and does no further teardown. The
nfsd thread drains the list in xpo_release_ctxt between
RPCs, performing DMA unmapping, chunk I/O resource release,
and page release in a batch.

This eliminates both the workqueue pool lock and the DMA
unmap cost from the Send completion path. DMA unmapping can
be expensive when an IOMMU is present in strict mode, as
each unmap triggers a synchronous hardware IOTLB
invalidation. Moving it to the nfsd thread, where that
latency is harmless, avoids penalizing completion handler
throughput.

The nfsd threads absorb the release cost at a point where
the client is no longer waiting on a reply, and natural
batching amortizes the overhead when completions arrive
faster than RPCs complete.

A self-enqueue backstops drain on a quiescing transport.
When svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put() observes that its llist_add()
transitions sc_send_release_list from empty to non-empty,
it sets XPT_DATA and calls svc_xprt_enqueue() so that
svc_xprt_ready() schedules an nfsd thread. The thread
enters svc_rdma_recvfrom(), finds no pending receive,
clears XPT_DATA, and returns 0; svc_xprt_release() then
runs xpo_release_ctxt and drains the list. Under steady
load the foreground drain keeps the list non-empty between
adds and no enqueue fires; only the trailing edge of a
burst pays for a wakeup. Without this path, a Send
completion arriving after the last xpo_release_ctxt on an
idle connection would leave the send_ctxt's DMA mappings
and reply pages pinned until the next RPC, send-context
exhaustion, or transport close.
