Tom Tucker c8237a5fce SVCRDMA: Check num_sge when setting LAST_CTXT bit
The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly
when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This
resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to
build the RPC iovec page list.

RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for
NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the
advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and
associated page list.

WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are
handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may
require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC
are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list
is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes,
the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing.

The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two
contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple
pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build
the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last
context doesn't contain the iovec page list.

Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects
the last context for the RPC.
