When a memory operation fails, the MR's driver state might not match
its hardware state. The only reliable recourse is to dereg the MR.
This is done in ->ro_recover_mr, which then attempts to allocate a
fresh MR to replace the released MR.
Since commit e2ac236c0b ("xprtrdma: Allocate MRs on demand"),
xprtrdma dynamically allocates MRs. It can add more MRs whenever
they are needed.
That makes it possible to simply release an MR when a memory
operation fails, instead of "recovering" it. It will automatically
be replaced by the on-demand MR allocator.
This commit is a little larger than I wanted, but it replaces
->ro_recover_mr, rb_recovery_lock, rb_recovery_worker, and the
rb_stale_mrs list with a generic work queue.
Since MRs are no longer orphaned, the mrs_orphaned metric is no
longer used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
