[PATCH v5 0/5] sunrpc: hardcode pool_mode to pernode, remove other modes

This has a few small fixes and comment cleanups and also implements
Neil's suggestion to remove serv.sv_nrpools:

Patches #1 and #3 address what is a shortcoming of the existing code --
namely that the server can be configured to schedule RPCs to pools with
no threads in them.

The first patch addresses this problem: if the chosen pool has no
threads, then choose another that does.

The third patch tries to prevent this situation in the
auto-thread-placement case by ensuring that each populated node has at
least one thread.

The last two patches implement Neil's suggestion to eliminate
serv.sv_nrpools. This has the side effect of getting the modulus out of
the svc_pool_for_cpu() hotpath as well.
