RDMA/uverbs: Expand primary and alt AV port checks



commit addb8a65 upstream.

The commit cited below checked that the port numbers provided in the
primary and alt AVs are legal.

That is sufficient to prevent a kernel panic. However, it is not
sufficient for correct operation.

In Linux, AVs (both primary and alt) must be completely self-described.
We do not accept an AV from userspace without an embedded port number.
(This has been the case since kernel 3.14 commit dbf727de
("IB/core: Use GID table in AH creation and dmac resolution")).

For the primary AV, this embedded port number must match the port number
specified with IB_QP_PORT.

We also expect the port number embedded in the alt AV to match the
alt_port_num value passed by the userspace driver in the modify_qp command
base structure.

Add these checks to modify_qp.
