[PATCH] RPC: Reduce stack utilization in xs_sendpages

 Reduce stack utilization of the RPC socket transport's send path.

 A couple of unlikely()s are added to ensure the compiler places the
 tail processing at the end of the csect.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization such as "sio" or
 "iozone".
