net/rds: reinitialize to_be_dropped on rds_send_xmit() restart

The to_be_dropped list is declared once at the top of rds_send_xmit()
but the function can loop via "goto restart" after each batch.  The
code currently relies on rds_send_remove_from_sock() having emptied
the list entry by entry (via list_del_init()) at the end of the
previous batch; nothing in rds_send_xmit() itself guarantees the list
head is empty when a new batch starts.

Re-initialize the list on every restart, and warn once if it is ever
found non-empty there: entries left on the list at that point would
keep their message reference, their RDS_MSG_ON_SOCK accounting and
their pending RDS_RDMA_DROPPED notification, so a silent re-init
would orphan them.  This is hardening: no user-visible bug is known
in the current code.

This mirrors Oracle UEK commit "net/rds: rds_send_xmit should
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&to_be_dropped) on restart".

[achender: port to net-next (keep the existing LIST_HEAD declaration and
 add only the restart re-init); warn if the restart invariant is
 violated; update commit message]
