IB/core: Add support for idr types



The new ioctl infrastructure supports driver specific objects.
Each such object type has a hot unplug function, allocation size and
an order of destruction.

When a ucontext is created, a new list is created in this ib_ucontext.
This list contains all objects created under this ib_ucontext.
When a ib_ucontext is destroyed, we traverse this list several time
destroying the various objects by the order mentioned in the object
type description. If few object types have the same destruction order,
they are destroyed in an order opposite to their creation.

Adding an object is done in two parts.
First, an object is allocated and added to idr tree. Then, the
command's handlers (in downstream patches) could work on this object
and fill in its required details.
After a successful command, the commit part is called and the user
objects become ucontext visible. If the handler failed, alloc_abort
should be called.

Removing an uboject is done by calling lookup_get with the write flag
and finalizing it with destroy_commit. A major change from the previous
code is that we actually destroy the kernel object itself in
destroy_commit (rather than just the uobject).

We should make sure idr (per-uverbs-file) and list (per-ucontext) could
be accessed concurrently without corrupting them.
