IB/hfi1: Fix an assign/ordering issue with shared context IDs



The current algorithm for generating sub-context IDs is FILO.  If the
contexts are not closed in that order, the uniqueness of the ID will be
compromised. I.e. logging the creation/deletion of context IDs with an
application that assigns and closes in a FIFO order reveals:

cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3    sub_ctxt: 0
cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3    sub_ctxt: 1
cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3    sub_ctxt: 2
cache_id: close:  uctxt: 3    sub_ctxt: 0
cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3    sub_ctxt: 2 <<<

The sub_ctxt ID 2 is reused incorrectly.

Update the sub-context ID assign algorithm to use a bitmask of in_use
contexts.  The new algorithm will allow the contexts to be closed in any
order, and will only re-use unused contexts.

Size subctxt and subctxt_cnt to match the user API size.
