sunrpc: skip svc_xprt_enqueue in svc_xprt_received when idle

svc_xprt_received() unconditionally calls
svc_xprt_enqueue() after clearing XPT_BUSY. When no
work flags are pending, the enqueue traverses
svc_xprt_ready() -- executing an smp_rmb(), READ_ONCE(),
and tracepoint -- before returning false.

Trace data from a 256KB NFSv3 workload over RDMA shows
85% of svc_xprt_received() invocations reach
svc_xprt_enqueue() with no pending work flags. In the
WRITE phase, 167,335 of 196,420 calls find no work; in
the READ phase, 97,165 of 98,276. Each unnecessary call
executes a memory barrier, a flags read, and (when
tracing is active) fires the svc_xprt_enqueue
tracepoint.

Add a flags pre-check between clear_bit(XPT_BUSY) and
svc_xprt_enqueue(). Both the clear and the subsequent
READ_ONCE operate on the same xpt_flags word, so
cache-line serialization of the atomic bitops ensures
the read observes any flag set by a concurrent producer
before the line was acquired for the clear. If a
producer's set_bit occurs after the clear_bit, that
producer's own svc_xprt_enqueue() call observes
!XPT_BUSY and dispatches the transport.
