/proc/lock_stat indicates the the sc_send_lock is heavily
contended when the server is under load from a single client.
To address this, convert the send_ctxt free list to an llist.
Returning an item to the send_ctxt cache is now waitless, which
reduces the instruction path length in the single-threaded Send
handler (svc_rdma_wc_send).
The goal is to enable the ib_comp_wq worker to handle a higher
RPC/RDMA Send completion rate given the same CPU resources. This
change reduces CPU utilization of Send completion by 2-3% on my
server.
