[PATCH] sunrpc: don't check for failure from mempool_alloc()

[NeilBrown]

When mempool_alloc() is allowed to sleep (GFP_NOIO allows
sleeping) it cannot fail.
So rpc_alloc_task() cannot fail, so rpc_new_task doesn't need
to test for failure.
Consequently rpc_new_task() cannot fail, so the callers
don't need to test.
