With v4.15, on one of my NFS/RDMA clients I measured a nearly
doubling in the latency of small read and write system calls. There
was no change in server round trip time. The extra latency appears
in the whole RPC execution path.

"git bisect" settled on commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply
processing over more CPUs") .

After some experimentation, I found that leaving the WQ bound and
allowing the scheduler to pick the dispatch CPU seems to eliminate
the long latencies, and it does not introduce any new regressions.

The fix is implemented by reverting only the part of
commit ccede759 ("xprtrdma: Spread reply processing over more
CPUs") that dispatches RPC replies specifically on the CPU where the
matching RPC call was made.

Interestingly, saving the CPU number and later queuing reply
processing there was effective _only_ for a NFS READ and WRITE
request. On my NUMA client, in-kernel RPC reply processing for
asynchronous RPCs was dispatched on the same CPU where the RPC call
was made, as expected. However synchronous RPCs seem to get their
reply dispatched on some other CPU than where the call was placed,
every time.
