rds: rds_cong_queue_updates needs to defer the congestion update transmission

Browse Source 
When the RDS transport is TCP, we cannot inline the call to rds_send_xmit
from rds_cong_queue_update because
(a) we are already holding the sock_lock in the recv path, and
    will deadlock when tcp_setsockopt/tcp_sendmsg try to get the sock
    lock
(b) cong_queue_update does an irqsave on the rds_cong_lock, and this
    will trigger warnings (for a good reason) from functions called
    out of sock_lock.

This patch reverts the change introduced by
2fa57129d ("RDS: Bypass workqueue when queueing cong updates").

The patch has been verified for both RDS/TCP as well as RDS/RDMA
to ensure that there are not regressions for either transport:
 - for verification of  RDS/TCP a client-server unit-test was used,
   with the server blocked in gdb and thus unable to drain its rcvbuf,
   eventually triggering a RDS congestion update.
 - for RDS/RDMA, the standard IB regression tests were used
