rpcsvc: fix dangerous setting of pointer on free'd structure
The current code is setting @req->hdr_iobuf = NULL _after_ calling
actor_fn() on @req. Calling actor_fn() takes away all guarantees
of whether @req is still a valid object or destroyed.
Unfortunately most of the times the object is allocated from mem-pool
an a mem_put() still keeps the arena allocated (no crash). However
once the mem-pool is full and allocation falls back to malloc()/free()
the code actually becomes dangerous. This resulted in random crashes
when the system load is high (when there were sufficient outstanding
calls that @rpc pool got full)
