mlx4: Put physical GID and P_Key table sizes in mlx4_phys_caps struct and paravirtualize them



To allow easy paravirtualization of P_Key and GID table sizes, keep
paravirtualized sizes in mlx4_dev->caps, but save the actual physical
sizes from FW in struct: mlx4_dev->phys_cap.

In addition, in SR-IOV mode, do the following:

1. Reduce reported P_Key table size by 1.
   This is done to reserve the highest P_Key index for internal use,
   for declaring an invalid P_Key in P_Key paravirtualization.
   We require a P_Key index which always contain an invalid P_Key
   value for this purpose (i.e., one which cannot be modified by
   the subnet manager).  The way to do this is to reduce the
   P_Key table size reported to the subnet manager by 1, so that
   it will not attempt to access the P_Key at index #127.

2. Paravirtualize the GID table size to 1. Thus, each guest sees
   only a single GID (at its paravirtualized index 0).

In addition, since we are paravirtualizing the GID table size to 1, we
add paravirtualization of the master GID event here (i.e., we do not
do ib_dispatch_event() for the GUID change event on the master, since
its (only) GUID never changes).
