[PATCH] sunrpc: add info about xprt queue times to svc_xprt_dequeue tracepoint

[Jeff Layton]

I've been looking at a problem where we see increased RPC timeouts in
clients when the nfs_layout_flexfiles dataserver_timeo value is tuned
very low (6s). This is necessary to ensure quick failover to a different
mirror if a server goes down, but it causes a lot more major RPC timeouts.

Ultimately, the problem is server-side however. It's sometimes doesn't
respond to connection attempts. My theory is that the interrupt handler
runs when a connection comes in, the xprt ends up being enqueued, but it
takes a significant amount of time for the nfsd thread to pick it up.

Currently, the svc_xprt_dequeue tracepoint displays "wakeup-us". This is
the time between the wake_up() call, and the thread dequeueing the xprt.
If no thread was woken, or the thread ended up picking up a different
xprt than intended, then this value won't tell us how long the xprt was
waiting.

Add a new xpt_qtime field to struct svc_xprt and set it in
svc_xprt_enqueue(). When the dequeue tracepoint fires, also store the
time that the xprt sat on the queue in total. Display it as "qtime-us".
