The CQ pool mechanism had two problems:
1. The CQ pool lists were uninitialized in the device registration error
flow. As a result, all the list pointers remained NULL. This caused
the kernel to crash (in procedure ib_cq_pool_destroy) when that error
flow was taken (and unregister called). The stack trace snippet:

2. At device unregister, when cleaning up the cq pool, the cq's in the
pool lists were freed, but the cq entries were left in the list.
The fix for the first issue is to initialize the cq pool lists when the
ib_device structure is allocated for a new device (in procedure
_ib_alloc_device).
The fix for the second problem is to delete cq entries from the pool lists
when cleaning up the cq pool.
In addition, procedure ib_cq_pool_destroy() is renamed to the more
appropriate name ib_cq_pool_cleanup().

Refactor the restrack code to make sure the kref inside the restrack entry
properly kref's the object in which it is embedded. This slight change is
needed for future conversions of MR and QP which are refcounted before the
release and kfree.
The ideal flow from ib_core perspective as follows:
* Allocate ib_* structure with rdma_zalloc_*.
* Set everything that is known to ib_core to that newly created object.
* Initialize kref with restrack help
* Call to driver specific allocation functions.
* Insert into restrack DB
....
* Return and release restrack with restrack_put.
Largely this means a rdma_restrack_new() should be called near allocating
the containing structure.

Allow a ULP to ask the core to provide a completion queue based on a
least-used search on a per-device CQ pools. The device CQ pools grow in a
lazy fashion when more CQs are requested.
This feature reduces the amount of interrupts when using many QPs. Using
shared CQs allows for more effcient completion handling. It also reduces
the amount of overhead needed for CQ contexts.
Test setup:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8176M CPU @ 2.10GHz servers.
Running NVMeoF 4KB read IOs over ConnectX-5EX across Spectrum switch.
TX-depth = 32. The patch was applied in the nvme driver on both the target
and initiator. Four controllers are accessed from each core. In the
current test case we have exposed sixteen NVMe namespaces using four
different subsystems (four namespaces per subsystem) from one NVM port.
Each controller allocated X queues (RDMA QPs) and attached to Y CQs.
Before this series we had X == Y, i.e for four controllers we've created
total of 4X QPs and 4X CQs. In the shared case, we've created 4X QPs and
only X CQs which means that we have four controllers that share a
completion queue per core. Until fourteen cores there is no significant
change in performance and the number of interrupts per second is less than
a million in the current case.

Send and Receive completion is handled on a single CPU selected at
the time each Completion Queue is allocated. Typically this is when
an initiator instantiates an RDMA transport, or when a target
accepts an RDMA connection.
Some ULPs cannot open a connection per CPU to spread completion
workload across available CPUs and MSI vectors. For such ULPs,
provide an API that allows the RDMA core to select a completion
vector based on the device's complement of available comp_vecs.
ULPs that invoke ib_alloc_cq() with only comp_vector 0 are converted
to use the new API so that their completion workloads interfere less
with each other.

The upstream kernel commit cited below modified the workqueue in the
new CQ API to be bound to a specific CPU (instead of being unbound).
This caused ALL users of the new CQ API to use the same bound WQ.
Specifically, MAD handling was severely delayed when the CPU bound
to the WQ was busy handling (higher priority) interrupts.
This caused a delay in the MAD "heartbeat" response handling,
which resulted in ports being incorrectly classified as "down".
To fix this, add a new "unbound" WQ type to the new CQ API, so that users
have the option to choose either a bound WQ or an unbound WQ.
For MADs, choose the new "unbound" WQ.

This adds an abstraction that allows ULPs to simply pass a completion
object and completion callback with each submitted WR and let the RDMA
core handle the nitty gritty details of how to handle completion
interrupts and poll the CQ.
In detail there is a new ib_cqe structure which just contains the
completion callback, and which can be used to get at the containing
object using container_of. It is pointed to by the WR and WC as an
alternative to the wr_id field, similar to how many ULPs already use
the field to store a pointer using casts.
A driver using the new completion callbacks allocates it's CQs using
the new ib_create_cq API, which in addition to the number of CQEs and
the completion vectors also takes a mode on how we poll for CQEs.
Three modes are available: direct for drivers that never take CQ
interrupts and just poll for them, softirq to poll from softirq context
using the to be renamed blk-iopoll infrastructure which takes care of
rearming and budgeting, or a workqueue for consumer who want to be
called from user context.
Thanks a lot to Sagi Grimberg who helped reviewing the API, wrote
the current version of the workqueue code because my two previous
attempts sucked too much and converted the iSER initiator to the new
API.
