rxrpc: Allow the app to store private data on peer structs

Provide a way for the application (e.g. the afs filesystem) to store
private data on the rxrpc_peer structs for later retrieval via the call
object.

This will allow afs to store a pointer to the afs_server object on the
rxrpc_peer struct, thereby obviating the need for afs to keep lookup tables
by which it can associate an incoming call with server that transmitted it.
