<title>IB/iser: Add more RX CQs to scale out processing of SCSI responses</title>

RX/TX CQs will now be selected from a per HCA pool.  For the RX flow
this has the effect of using different interrupt vectors when using
low level drivers (such as mlx4) that map the "vector" param provided
by the ULP on CQ creation to a dedicated IRQ/MSI-X vector.  This
allows the RX flow processing of IO responses to be distributed across
multiple CPUs.

QPs (--&gt; iSER sessions) are assigned to CQs in round robin order using
the CQ with the minimum number of sessions attached to it.

<title>IB/iser: Fix error flow in iser ep connection establishment</title>

The current error flow code was releasing the IB connection object and
calling iscsi_destroy_endpoint() directly without going through the
reference counting mechanism introduced in commit 39ff05d ("IB/iser:
Enhance disconnection logic for multi-pathing"). This resulted in a
double free of the iscsi endpoint object, which causes a kernel NULL
pointer dereference.  Fix that by plugging into the IB conn reference
counting correctly.

An iser target may send iscsi NO-OP PDUs as soon as it marks the iSER
iSCSI session as fully operative.  This means that there is window
where there are no posted receive buffers on the initiator side, so
it's possible for the iSER RC connection to break because of RNR NAK /
retry errors.  To fix this, rely on the flags bits in the login
request to have FFP (0x3) in the lower nibble as a marker for the
final login request, and post an initial chunk of receive buffers
before sending that login request instead of after getting the login
response.

We allocate the login dma buffers in iser_verbs.c as part of
alloc_ib_conn_resources(), however we are freeing them in
iser_initiator.c as part of iser_free_rx_descriptors().  This is
needlessly confusing.  We have an alloc_rx_descriptors() and it
doesn't alloc something that the free_rx_descriptors() frees, and we
have an alloc_ib_conn_resources() that allocs something not freed by
free_ib_conn_resources().  Clean that up.

The driver counted on the transactional nature of iSCSI login/text
flows and used the same buffer for both the request and the response.
We also went further and did DMA mapping only once, with
DMA_FROM_DEVICE, which violates the DMA mapping API.  Fix that by
using different buffers, one for requests and one for responses, and
use the correct DMA mapping direction for each.
