IB/{hfi1, rdmavt, qib}: Implement CQ completion vector support

Currently the driver doesn't support completion vectors. These
are used to indicate which sets of CQs should be grouped together
into the same vector. A vector is a CQ processing thread that
runs on a specific CPU.

If an application has several CQs bound to different completion
vectors, and each completion vector runs on different CPUs, then
the completion queue workload is balanced. This helps scale as more
nodes are used.

Implement CQ completion vector support using a global workqueue
where a CQ entry is queued to the CPU corresponding to the CQ's
completion vector. Since the workqueue is global, it's guaranteed
to always be there when queueing CQ entries; Therefore, the RCU
locking for cq->rdi->worker in the hot path is superfluous.

Each completion vector is assigned to a different CPU. The number of
completion vectors available is computed by taking the number of
online, physical CPUs from the local NUMA node and subtracting the
CPUs us...
