SUNRPC: Partial revert of commit 6f9f172

Trond Myklebust · Trond Myklebust · commit ea7a1019d8ba · 2021-10-03T20:49:05.000-04:00
The premise of commit 6f9f172 ("SUNRPC: Mitigate cond_resched() in xprt_transmit()") was that cond_resched() is expensive and unnecessary when there has been just a single send. The point of cond_resched() is to ensure that tasks that should pre-empt this one get a chance to do so when it is safe to do so. The code prior to commit 6f9f172 failed to take into account that it was keeping a rpc_task pinned for longer than it needed to, and so rather than doing a full revert, let's just move the cond_resched.
