SUNRPC: Fix NFSD's request deferral on RDMA transports

Trond Myklebust reports an NFSD crash in svc_rdma_sendto(). Further
investigation shows that the crash occurred while NFSD was handling
a deferred request.

This patch addresses two inter-related issues that prevent request
deferral from working correctly for RPC/RDMA requests:

1. Prevent the crash by ensuring that the original
   svc_rqst::rq_xprt_ctxt value is available when the request is
   revisited. Otherwise svc_rdma_sendto() does not have a Receive
   context available with which to construct its reply.

2. Possibly since before commit 71641d99ce03 ("svcrdma: Properly
   compute .len and .buflen for received RPC Calls"),
   svc_rdma_recvfrom() did not include the transport header in the
   returned xdr_buf. There should have been no need for svc_defer()
   and friends to save and restore that header, as of that commit.
   This issue is addressed in a backport-friendly way by simply
   having svc_rdma_recvfrom() set rq_xprt_hlen to zero
   unconditionally, just as svc_tcp_recvfrom() does. This enables
   svc_deferred_recv() to correctly reconstruct an RPC message
   received via RPC/RDMA.
