SUNRPC: eliminate rpc_call()

Clean-up: replace rpc_call() helper with direct call to rpc_call_sync.

This makes NFSv2 and NFSv3 synchronous calls more computationally
efficient, and reduces stack consumption in functions that used to
invoke rpc_call more than once.

Test plan:
Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.  Connectathon on NFS version 2,
version 3, and version 4 mount points.
