IB/srp: Add multichannel support
Improve performance by using multiple RDMA/RC channels per SCSI host for communication with an SRP target. About the implementation: - Introduce a loop over all channels in the code that uses target->ch. - Set the SRP_MULTICHAN_MULTI flag during login for the creation of the second and subsequent channels. - RDMA completion vectors are chosen such that RDMA completion interrupts are handled by the CPU socket that submitted the I/O request. As one can see in this patch it has been assumed if a system contains n CPU sockets and m RDMA completion vectors have been assigned to an RDMA HCA that IRQ affinity has been configured such that completion vectors [i*m/n..(i+1)*m/n) are bound to CPU socket i with 0 <= i < n. - Modify srp_free_ch_ib() and srp_free_req_data() such that it becomes safe to invoke these functions after the corresponding allocation function failed. - Add a ch_count sysfs attribute per target port.
