[PATCH 4.9 142/153] xprtrdma: Per-connection pad optimization

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

commit b5f0afbea4f2ea52c613ac2b06cb6de2ea18cb6d upstream.

Pad optimization is changed by echoing into
/proc/sys/sunrpc/rdma_pad_optimize. This is a global setting,
affecting all RPC-over-RDMA connections to all servers.

The marshaling code picks up that value and uses it for decisions
about how to construct each RPC-over-RDMA frame. Having it change
suddenly in mid-operation can result in unexpected failures. And
some servers a client mounts might need chunk round-up, while
others don't.

So instead, copy the pad_optimize setting into each connection's
rpcrdma_ia when the transport is created, and use the copy, which
can't change during the life of the connection, instead.

This also removes a hack: rpcrdma_convert_iovs was using
the remote-invalidation-expected flag to predict when it could leave
out Write chunk padding. This is because the Linux server handles
implicit XDR padding on Write chunks correctly, and only Linux
servers can set the connection's remote-invalidation-expected flag.

It's more sensible to use the pad optimization setting instead.
