A marshal operation can fail if there are not enough MRs or if
the sendctx queue is empty. In this case, any MRs that were already
set up for that request are recycled. Recycling releases MRs and
creates new ones, which is expensive.
Since commit f2877623082b ("xprtrdma: Chain Send to FastReg WRs")
was merged, recycling FRWRs is unnecessary. This is because before
that commit, frwr_map had already posted FAST_REG Work Requests,
so the MRs were owned by the NIC and dealing with them had to be
delayed.
Since that commit, the FAST_REG WRs are posted at the same time as
the Send WR. This means that if marshaling fails, we are certain
the MRs are safe to simply unmap and place back on the free list
because neither the Send nor the FAST_REG WRs have been posted yet.
This reduces the total number of MRs that the xprt has to create
under heavy workloads and makes the logic a bit less brittle.
