Currently, SMC enables remote access to physical memory when a user
has successfully configured and established an SMC-connection until ten
minutes after the last SMC connection is closed. Because this is considered
a security risk, drivers are supposed to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY in
such a case.
This patch changes the current SMC code to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY.
This improves user awareness, but does not remove the security risk itself.

rdma_ah_attr can now be either ib or roce allowing
core components to use one type or the other and also
to define attributes unique to a specific type. struct
ib_ah is also initialized with the type when its first
created. This ensures that calls such as modify_ah
dont modify the type of the address handle attribute.

smc specifies IB_SEND_INLINE for IB_WR_SEND ib_post_send calls, but
provides a mapped buffer to be sent. This is inconsistent, since
IB_SEND_INLINE works without mapped buffer. Problem has not been
detected in the past, because tests had been limited to Connect X3 cards
from Mellanox, whose mlx4 driver just ignored the IB_SEND_INLINE flag.
For now, the IB_SEND_INLINE flag is removed.

The global event handler is created only, if the ib_device has already
been used by at least one link group. It is guaranteed that there exists
the corresponding entry in the smc_ib_devices list. Get rid of this
superfluous check.

The base containers for RDMA transport are work requests and completion
queue entries processed through Infiniband verbs:
* allocate and initialize these areas
* map these areas to DMA
* implement the basic communication consisting of work request posting
and receival of completion queue events

Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal
TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not
restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing
Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as
long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and
some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an
identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID".
Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet
interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table.
A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the
associated network and IB device.
This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the
generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device
by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table
entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table.
There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces
or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device
is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created.
Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored;
a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or
IB device is removed.
