RDS: make sure not to loop forever inside rds_send_xmit

If a determined set of concurrent senders keep the send queue full,
we can loop forever inside rds_send_xmit.  This fix has two parts.

First we are dropping out of the while(1) loop after we've processed a
large batch of messages.

Second we add a generation number that gets bumped each time the
xmit bit lock is acquired.  If someone else has jumped in and
made progress in the queue, we skip our goto restart.

Original patch by Chris Mason.
