SUNRPC: Deduplicate thread wake-up code

Refactor: Extract the loop that finds an idle service thread from
svc_xprt_enqueue() and svc_wake_up(). Both functions do just about
the same thing.

Note that svc_wake_up() currently does not hold the RCU read lock
while waking the target thread. It indeed should hold the lock, just
as svc_xprt_enqueue() does, to ensure the rqstp does not vanish
during the wake-up. This patch adds the RCU lock for svc_wake_up().

Note that shrinking the pool thread count is rare, and calls to
svc_wake_up() are also quite infrequent. In practice, this race is
very unlikely to be hit, so we are not marking the lock fix for
stable backport at this time.
