IB/core: use RCU for uverbs id lookup
The current implementation gets a spin_lock, and at any scale with qib and hfi1 post send, the lock contention grows exponentially with the number of QPs. idr_find() is RCU compatibile, so read doesn't need the lock. Change to use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() in __idr_get_uobj(). kfree_rcu() is used to insure a grace period between the idr removal and actual free.
