IB/hfi1: Resolve kernel panics by reference counting receive contexts

Base receive contexts can be used by sub contexts.  Because of this,
resources for the context cannot be completely freed until all sub
contexts are done using the base context.

Introduce a reference count so that the base receive context can be
freed only when all sub contexts are done with it.

Use the provided function call for setting default send context
integrity rather than the manual method.

The cleanup path does not set all variables back to NULL after freeing
resources.  Since the clean up code can get called more than once,
(e.g. during context close and on the error path), it is necessary to
make sure that all the variables are NULLed.

Possible crash are:
