Bart Van Assche 3c9688876a Revert "ib_srpt: Convert to percpu_ida tag allocation"
This reverts commit 0fd10721fe.

That patch causes the ib_srpt driver to crash as soon as the first SCSI
command is received:

  kernel BUG at drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c:1439!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [] SMP
  Workqueue: target_completion target_complete_ok_work [target_core_mod]
  RIP: srpt_queue_response+0x437/0x4a0 [ib_srpt]
  Call Trace:
    srpt_queue_data_in+0x9/0x10 [ib_srpt]
    target_complete_ok_work+0x152/0x2b0 [target_core_mod]
    process_one_work+0x197/0x480
    worker_thread+0x49/0x490
    kthread+0xea/0x100
    ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40

Aside from the crash, the shortcomings of that patch are as follows:

 - It makes the ib_srpt driver use I/O contexts allocated by
   transport_alloc_session_tags() but it does not initialize these I/O
   contexts properly.  All the initializations performed by
   srpt_alloc_ioctx() are skipped.

 - It swaps the order of the send ioctx allocation and the transition to
   RTR mode which is wrong.

 - The amount of memory that is needed for I/O contexts is doubled.

 - srpt_rdma_ch.free_list is no longer used but is not removed.
