A memory region created for a new RMB must be registered explicitly,
before the peer can make use of it for remote DMA transfer.

SMC currently uses the unsafe_global_rkey of the protection domain,
which exposes all memory for remote reads and writes once a connection
is established. This patch introduces separate memory regions with
separate rkeys for every RMB. Now the unsafe_global_rkey of the
protection domain is no longer needed.

The follow-on patch makes use of ib_map_mr_sg() when introducing
separate memory regions for RMBs. This function is based on
scatterlists; thus this patch introduces scatterlists for RMBs.

Currently, SMC enables remote access to physical memory when a user
has successfully configured and established an SMC-connection until ten
minutes after the last SMC connection is closed. Because this is considered
a security risk, drivers are supposed to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY in
such a case.
This patch changes the current SMC code to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY.
This improves user awareness, but does not remove the security risk itself.

The base containers for RDMA transport are work requests and completion
queue entries processed through Infiniband verbs:
* allocate and initialize these areas
* map these areas to DMA
* implement the basic communication consisting of work request posting
and receival of completion queue events

* allocate data RMB memory for sending and receiving

* allocated RMBs are kept during life time of the owning link group
