svc_rdma_post_recv() allocates pages for receive buffers on-demand. It uses GFP_KERNEL so the allocator tries hard, and may sleep. But I'm about to add a call to svc_rdma_post_recv() from a function that may not sleep. Since all svc_rdma_post_recv() call sites can tolerate its failure, allow it to fail if the page allocator returns nothing. Longer term, receive buffers, being a finite resource per-connection, should be pre-allocated and re-used.
