[PATCH v2 10/20] xprtrdma: Refactor rpcrdma_create_req()

[Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In a subsequent patch, we'll be invoking rpcrdma_create_req() during
the call_reserve step. Memory allocation there needs to use
GFP_NOFS.

As an additional clean up, just return a pointer or NULL, because
the only error return code here is -ENOMEM.

Lastly, rename rpcrdma_create_req to match rpcrdma_req_destroy.
