IB/core: remove ib_get_dma_mr
We now only use it from ib_alloc_pd to create a local DMA lkey if the device doesn't provide one, or a global rkey if the ULP requests it. This patch removes ib_get_dma_mr and open codes the functionality in ib_alloc_pd so that we can simplify the code and prevent abuse of the functionality. As a side effect we can also simplify things by removing the valid access bit check, and the PD refcounting. In the future I hope to also remove the per-PD global MR entirely by shifting this work into the HW drivers, as one step towards avoiding the struct ib_mr overload for various different use cases.
