Chuck Lever 48be539dd4 xprtrdma: Introduce ->alloc_slot call-out for xprtrdma
rpcrdma_buffer_get acquires an rpcrdma_req and rep for each RPC.
Currently this is done in the call_allocate action, and sometimes it
can fail if there are many outstanding RPCs.

When call_allocate fails, the RPC task is put on the delayq. It is
awoken a few milliseconds later, but there's no guarantee it will
get a buffer at that time. The RPC task can be repeatedly put back
to sleep or even starved.

The call_allocate action should rarely fail. The delayq mechanism is
not meant to deal with transport congestion.

In the current sunrpc stack, there is a friendlier way to deal with
this situation. These objects are actually tantamount to an RPC
slot (rpc_rqst) and there is a separate FSM action, distinct from
call_allocate, for allocating slot resources. This is the
call_reserve action.

When allocation fails during this action, the RPC is placed on the
transport's backlog queue. The backlog mechanism provides a stronger
guarantee that when the RPC is awoken, a buffer will be available
for it; and backlogged RPCs are awoken one-at-a-time.

To make slot resource allocation occur in the call_reserve action,
create special ->alloc_slot and ->free_slot call-outs for xprtrdma.
