svc: Move the sockaddr information to svc_xprt
This patch moves the transport sockaddr to the svc_xprt structure. Convenience functions are added to set and get the local and remote addresses of a transport from the transport provider as well as determine the length of a sockaddr. A transport is responsible for setting the xpt_local and xpt_remote addresses in the svc_xprt structure as part of transport creation and xpo_accept processing. This cannot be done in a generic way and in fact varies between TCP, UDP and RDMA. A set of xpo_ functions (e.g. getlocalname, getremotename) could have been added but this would have resulted in additional caching and copying of the addresses around. Note that the xpt_local address should also be set on listening endpoints; for TCP/RDMA this is done as part of endpoint creation. For connected transports like TCP and RDMA, the addresses never change and can be set once and copied into the rqstp structure for each request. For UDP, however, the local and remote addresses may change for each request. In this case, the address information is obtained from the UDP recvmsg info and copied into the rqstp structure from there. A svc_xprt_local_port function was also added that returns the local port given a transport. This is used by svc_create_xprt when returning the port associated with a newly created transport, and later when creating a generic find transport service to check if a service is already listening on a given port.
