[PATCH RFC 1/2] sunrpc: delay pc_release callback until after sending a reply

[Jeff Layton]

The server-side sunrpc code currently calls pc_release before sending
the reply. A later nfsd patch will change some pc_release callbacks to
do extra work to clean the pagecache. There is no need to delay sending
the reply for this, however.

Change svc_process and svc_process_bc to call pc_release after sending
the reply instead of before.
