svcrdma: Post the Reply chunk and Send WR together

Reduce the doorbell and Send completion rates when sending RPC/RDMA
replies that have Reply chunks. NFS READDIR procedures typically
return their result in a Reply chunk, for example.

Instead of calling ib_post_send() to post the Write WRs for the
Reply chunk, and then calling it again to post the Send WR that
conveys the transport header, chain the Write WRs to the Send WR
and call ib_post_send() only once.

Thanks to the Send Queue completion ordering rules, when the Send
WR completes, that guarantees that Write WRs posted before it have
also completed successfully. Thus all Write WRs for the Reply chunk
can remain unsignaled. Instead of handling a Write completion and
then a Send completion, only the Send completion is seen, and it
handles clean up for both the Writes and the Send.
