There's issue as follows:
RPC: Registered rdma transport module.
RPC: Registered rdma backchannel transport module.
RPC: Unregistered rdma transport module.

If register_sysctl() return NULL, then svc_rdma_proc_cleanup() will not
destroy the percpu counters which init in svc_rdma_proc_init().
If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, residual nodes may be in the
'percpu_counters' list. The above issue may occur once the module is
removed. If the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU configuration is not enabled, memory
leakage occurs.
To solve above issue just destroy all percpu counters when
register_sysctl() return NULL.
