svcrdma: Simplify RDMA_READ deferral buffer management
An NFS_WRITE requires a set of RDMA_READ requests to fetch the write data from the client. There are two principal pieces of data that need to be tracked: the list of pages that comprise the completed RPC and the SGE of dma mapped pages to refer to this list of pages. Previously this whole bit was managed as a linked list of contexts with the context containing the page list buried in this list. This patch simplifies this processing by not keeping a linked list, but rather only a pionter from the last submitted RDMA_READ's context to the context that maps the set of pages that describe the RPC. This significantly simplifies this code path. SGE contexts are cleaned up inline in the DTO path instead of at read completion time. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
