[ Upstream commit ef739b2175dde9c05594f768cb78149f1ce2ac36 ]

On a fresh connection, an RPC/RDMA client is supposed to send only
one RPC Call until it gets a credit grant in the first RPC Reply
from the server [RFC 8166, Section 3.3.3].

There is a bug in the Linux client's credit accounting mechanism
introduced by commit e7ce710a8802 ("xprtrdma: Avoid deadlock when
credit window is reset"). On connect, it simply dumps all pending
RPC Calls onto the new connection.

Servers have been tolerant of this bad behavior. Currently no server
implementation ever changes its credit grant over reconnects, and
servers always repost enough Receives before connections are fully
established.

To correct this issue, ensure that the client resets both the credit
grant _and_ the congestion window when handling a reconnect.

Fixes: e7ce710a8802 ("xprtrdma: Avoid deadlock when credit ... ")
