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.
