Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: clean-up cache downcall

We can simplifly code around cache_downcall unifying memory
allocations using kvmalloc, this have the benefit of getting rid of
cache_slow_downcall (and queue_io_mutex), and also matches userland
allocation size and limits

Hi Roberto-

I spotted some mechanical problems.

Assuming Bruce is copacetic with this patch, the change looks
appropriate for the v5.11 merge window. However, this patch
doesn't appear to apply to v5.10-rc5. Might be because
27a1e8a0f79e ("sunrpc: raise kernel RPC channel buffer size")
was already merged?

Hi Bruce!

Thanks for comments!, i'll send a v2 with mechanical errors fixed
based on v5.10-rc5.
