[PATCH v1 10/12] xprtrdma: Fix large NFS SYMLINK calls

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

Repair how rpcrdma_marshal_req() chooses which RDMA message type
to use for large non-WRITE operations so that it picks RDMA_NOMSG
in the correct situations, and sets up the marshaling logic to
SEND only the RPC/RDMA header.

Large NFSv2 SYMLINK requests now use RDMA_NOMSG calls. The Linux NFS
server XDR decoder for NFSv2 SYMLINK does not handle having the
pathname argument arrive in a separate buffer. The decoder could be
fixed, but this is simpler and RDMA_NOMSG can be used in a variety
of other situations.

Ensure that the Linux client continues to use "RDMA_MSG + read
list" when sending large NFSv3 SYMLINK requests, which is more
efficient than using RDMA_NOMSG.

Large NFSv4 CREATE(NF4LNK) requests are changed to use "RDMA_MSG +
read list" just like NFSv3 (see Section 5 of RFC 5667). Before,
these did not work at all.
