xprtrdma: Allocate req's regbufs at xprt create time
Allocating an rpcrdma_req's regbufs at xprt create time enables
a pair of micro-optimizations:
First, if these regbufs are always there, we can eliminate two
conditional branches from the hot xprt_rdma_allocate path.
Second, by allocating a 1KB buffer, it places a lower bound on the
size of these buffers, without adding yet another conditional
branch. The lower bound reduces the number of hardway re-
allocations. In fact, for some workloads it completely eliminates
hardway allocations.
