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.

Bruce, this should be queued for 2.6.25 if possible.
