IB/cm: Share listening CM IDs
Enabling network namespaces for RDMA CM will allow processes on different namespaces to listen on the same port. In order to leave namespace support out of the CM layer, this requires that multiple RDMA CM IDs will be able to share a single CM ID. This patch adds infrastructure to retrieve an existing listening ib_cm_id, based on its device and service ID, or create a new one if one does not already exist. It also adds a reference count for such instances (cm_id_private.listen_sharecount), and prevents cm_destroy_id from destroying a CM if it is still shared. See the relevant discussion [1].
