When the rpc_memreg_strategy is 5, FRMR are used to map RPC data.
This mode uses an FRMR to map the RPC data, then invalidates
(i.e. unregisers) the data in xprt_rdma_free. These FRMR are used
across connections on the same mount, i.e. if the connection goes
away on an idle timeout and reconnects later, the FRMR are not
destroyed and recreated.
This creates a problem for transport errors because the WR that
invalidate an FRMR may be flushed (i.e. fail) leaving the
FRMR valid. When the FRMR is later used to map an RPC it will fail,
tearing down the transport and starting over. Over time, more and
more of the FRMR pool end up in the wrong state resulting in
seemingly random disconnects.
This fix keeps track of the FRMR state explicitly by setting it's
state based on the successful completion of a reg/inv WR. If the FRMR
is ever used and found to be in the wrong state, an invalidate WR
is prepended, re-syncing the FRMR state and avoiding the connection loss.

Add defensive timeouts to wait_for_completion() calls in RDMA
address resolution, and make them interruptible. Fix the timeout
units to milliseconds (formerly jiffies) and move to private header.

The RPC/RDMA protocol allows clients and servers to avoid RDMA
operations for data which is purely the result of XDR padding.
On the client, automatically insert the necessary padding for
such server replies, and optionally don't marshal such chunks.

An RPC/RDMA client cannot retransmit on an unbroken connection,
doing so violates its flow control with the server.

This implements the configuration and building of the core transport
switch implementation of the rpcrdma transport. Stubs are provided for
the rpcrdma protocol handling, and the infiniband/iwarp verbs interface.
These are provided in following patches.
