FMR is not supported on most recent RDMA devices (that use fast memory
registration mechanism). Also, FMR was recently removed from NFS/RDMA
ULP.

<title>IB/iser: Always check sig MR before putting it to the free pool</title>

libiscsi calls the check_protection transport handler only if SCSI-Respose
is received. So, the handler is never called if iSCSI task is completed
for some other reason like a timeout or error handling. And this behavior
looks correct. But the iSER does not handle this case properly because it
puts a non-checked signature MR to the free pool. Then the error occurs at
reusing the MR because it is not allowed to invalidate a signature MR
without checking.

This commit adds an extra check to iser_unreg_mem_fastreg(), which is a
part of the task cleanup flow. Now the signature MR is checked there if it
is needed.

<title>IB/iser: Use IB_WR_REG_MR_INTEGRITY for PI handover</title>

<id>b76a439982f8483beb2ffcfe93be50026940030a</id>
<content type='text'>
Using this new API reduces iSER code complexity.
It also reduces the maximum number of work requests per task and the need
of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and invalidations)
per task. It is done by using a single WR and a special MR type
(IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for PI operation.

The setup of the tested benchmark:
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)

64k     55205/54931       40264/40021

Using write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512     1090.1K/1030.9K   1303.9K/1101.4K

64k     35716/35519       39294/37334

We get performance improvement at all block sizes.
The most significant improvement is when writing 4k bs (almost 30% more
iops).

Keeping single line wrapper functions is not useful. Hence remove the
ib_sg_dma_address() and ib_sg_dma_len() functions. This patch does not
