SUNRPC: provide a mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC client

Add a simple mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC client.  Stats are
tabulated during xprt_release.  Note that per_cpu shenanigans are not
required here because the RPC client already serializes on the transport
write lock.

Test plan:
Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.  Basic performance regression
testing with high-speed networking and high performance server.

+ *
+ *  RPC client per-operation statistics provide latency and retry
+ *  information about each type of RPC procedure in a given RPC program.
+ *  These statistics are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but simply
+ *  to indicate whether the problem is local or remote.
+ *
+ *  These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant to be
+ *  integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and "iostat".  As
+ *  such, the counters are sampled by the tools over time, and are never
+ *  zeroed after a file system is mounted.  Moving averages can be computed
+ *  by the tools by taking the difference between two instantaneous samples
+ *  and dividing that by the time between the samples.
+ *
+ *  The counters are maintained in a single array per RPC client, indexed
+ *  by procedure number.  There is no need to maintain separate counter
+ *  arrays per-CPU because these counters are always modified behind locks.
