Under high I/O workloads, I've noticed that an RPC/RDMA transport
occasionally deadlocks (IOPS goes to zero, and doesn't recover).
Diagnosis shows that the sendctx queue is empty, but when sendctxs
are returned to the queue, the xprt_write_space wake-up never
occurs. The wake-up logic in rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked is racy.
I noticed that both EMPTY_SCQ and XPRT_WRITE_SPACE are implemented
via an atomic bit. Just one of those is sufficient. Removing
EMPTY_SCQ in favor of the generic bit mechanism makes the deadlock
un-reproducible.
Without EMPTY_SCQ, rpcrdma_buffer::rb_flags is no longer used and
is therefore removed.
Unfortunately this patch does not apply cleanly to stable. If
needed, someone will have to port it and test it.
