rdma/cm: revert associating an RDMA device when binding to loopback

Revert the following change from commit
6f8372b69c3198e06cecb1df2cb9682d0c55e657:

The defined behavior of rdma_bind_addr is to associate an RDMA device with an rdma_cm_id, as long as the user specified a non- zero address. (ie they weren't just trying to reserve a port) Currently, if the loopback address is passed to rdma_bind_addr, no device is associated with the rdma_cm_id. Fix this.

It turns out that openmpi depends on rdma_bind_addr NOT associating any RDMA device when binding to a loopback address. Openmpi is being updated to correct this, but until a new openmpi release is available, maintain the previous behavior: allow rdma_bind_addr to succeed, but do not bind to a device.

CMA: Fix iWarp failures to bind to a device

rdma_addr_get_sgid() relies on dev_addr->transport to retrieve the correct GID based on the hardware address. However, when called from cma_acquire_dev(), the transport field is not yet valid. The solution is to avoid calling rdma_addr_get_sgid() from cma_acquire_dev() and find the device based on it's
GID: for ethernet, assume first it is rocee and search the GID table, if not found generate the GID by copying it from the hardware address.

RDS: Fix congestion issues for loopback

We have two kinds of loopback: software (via loop transport) and hardware (via IB). sw is used for 127.0.0.1, and doesn't support rdma ops. hw is used for sends to local device IPs, and supports rdma. Both are used in different cases.

For both of these, when there is a congestion map update, we want to call rds_cong_map_updated() but not actually send anything -- since loopback local and foreign congestion maps point to the same spot, they're already in sync.

The old code never called sw loop's xmit_cong_map(),so rds_cong_map_updated() wasn't being called for it. sw loop ports would not work right with the congestion monitor.

Fixing that meant that hw loopback now would send congestion maps to itself. This is also undesirable (racy), so we check for this case in the ib-specific xmit code.

IB/iser: Rewrite SG handling for RDMA logic

After dma-mapping an SG list provided by the SCSI midlayer, iser has to make sure the mapped SG is "aligned for RDMA" in the sense that its possible to produce one mapping in the HCA IOMMU which represents the whole SG. Next, the mapped SG is formatted for registration with the HCA.

This patch re-writes the logic that does the above, to make it clearer and simpler. It also fixes a bug in the being aligned for RDMA checks, where a "start" check wasn't done but rather only "end" check.
