Chuck Lever 9545262f7e svcrdma: Release write chunk resources without re-queuing
Each RDMA Send completion triggers a cascade of work items on the
svcrdma_wq unbound workqueue:

  ib_cq_poll_work (on ib_comp_wq, per-CPU)
    -> svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put -> queue_work    [work item 1]
      -> svc_rdma_write_info_free -> queue_work [work item 2]

Every transition through queue_work contends on the unbound
pool's spinlock. Profiling an 8KB NFSv3 read/write workload
over RDMA shows about 4% of total CPU cycles spent on this
lock, with the cascading re-queue of write_info release
contributing roughly 1%.

The initial queue_work in svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put is needed to
move release work off the CQ completion context (which runs on
a per-CPU bound workqueue). However, once executing on
svcrdma_wq, there is no need to re-queue for each write_info
structure. svc_rdma_reply_chunk_release already calls
svc_rdma_cc_release inline from the same svcrdma_wq context,
and svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_put does the same from nfsd thread
context.

Release write chunk resources inline in
svc_rdma_write_info_free, removing the intermediate
svc_rdma_write_info_free_async work item and the wi_work
field from struct svc_rdma_write_info.
