RDS/IB: protect the list of IB devices
The RDS IB device list wasn't protected by any locking. Traversal in both the get_mr and FMR flushing paths could race with additon and removal. List manipulation is done with RCU primatives and is protected by the write side of a rwsem. The list traversal in the get_mr fast path is protected by a rcu read critical section. The FMR list traversal is more problematic because it can block while traversing the list. We protect this with the read side of the rwsem. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
