xprtrdma: Remove logic that constructs RDMA_MSGP type calls

RDMA_MSGP type calls insert a zero pad in the middle of the RPC
message to align the RPC request's data payload to the server's
alignment preferences. A server can then "page flip" the payload
into place to avoid a data copy in certain circumstances. However:

1. The client has to have a priori knowledge of the server's
   preferred alignment

2. Requests eligible for RDMA_MSGP are requests that are small
   enough to have been sent inline, and convey a data payload
   at the _end_ of the RPC message

Today 1. is done with a sysctl, and is a global setting that is
copied during mount. Linux does not support CCP to query the
server's preferences (RFC 5666, Section 6).

A small-ish NFSv3 WRITE might use RDMA_MSGP, but no NFSv4
compound fits bullet 2.

Thus the Linux client currently leaves RDMA_MSGP disabled. The
Linux server handles RDMA_MSGP, but does not use any special
page flipping, so it confers no benefit.

Clean up the marshaling code by removing the logic that constructs
RDMA_MSGP type calls. This also reduces the maximum send iovec size
from four to just two elements.

/proc/sys/sunrpc/rdma_inline_write_padding is a kernel API, and
thus is left in place.
