Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

Fix memory region permission problems:
- remove useless and redundant iwch_mem_perms enum.
- create ib_to_tpt_access_rights() for mapping ib access rights
to T3 TPT permissions.
- create ib_to_mwbind_access_rights() for mapping ib access rights
to T3 MWBIND WR permissions.
- fix up the mem reg code to utilize the new functions.

- don't mark static functions in C files as inline - gcc should know
best whether inlining makes sense
- never compile the unused cxio_dbg.c
- make the following needlessly global functions static:
- cxio_hal.c: cxio_hal_clear_qp_ctx()
- iwch_provider.c: iwch_get_qp()
- remove the following unused global functions:
- cxio_hal.c: cxio_allocate_stag()
- cxio_resource.: cxio_hal_get_rhdl()
- cxio_resource.: cxio_hal_put_rhdl()
