[PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switch

 The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in
 xprt_release, where each request is finally released.  Add a callout
 there to allow transports to perform additional processing when a
 request is about to be released.

 Test-plan:
 Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.  Look for significant
 regression in performance or client stability.
