[PATCH v1] sunrpc: Allocate up to RPCSVC_MAXPAGES per svc_rqst

[Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>]

svcrdma needs 259 pages for 1MB NFSv4.0 READ requests:

 - 1 page for the transport header and head iovec
 - 256 pages for the data payload
 - 1 page for the trailing GETATTR request (since NFSD XDR decoding
   does not look for a tail iovec, the GETATTR is stuck at the end
   of the rqstp->rq_arg.pages list)
 - 1 page for building the reply xdr_buf

But RPCSVC_MAXPAGES is already 259 (on x86_64). The problem is that
svc_alloc_arg never allocates that many pages. To address this:

1. The final element of rq_pages always points to NULL. To
   accommodate up to 259 pages in rq_pages, add an extra element
   to rq_pages for the array termination sentinel.

2. Adjust the calculation of "pages" to match how RPCSVC_MAXPAGES
   is calculated, so it can go up to 259. Bruce noted that the
   calculation assumes sv_max_mesg is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE,
   which might not always be true. I didn't change this assumption.

3. Change the loop boundaries to allow 259 pages to be allocated.

Additional clean-up: WARN_ON_ONCE adds an extra conditional branch,
which is basically never taken. And there's no need to dump the
stack here because svc_alloc_arg has only one caller.

Hi Bruce-

This is what I proposed yesterday evening. Instead of changing
the value of RPCSVC_MAXPAGES, ensure that svc_alloc_arg can
safely allocate that many pages.
