rds: rdma: update rdma transport for tos
For RDMA transports, RDS TOS is an extension of IB QoS(Annex A13) to provide clients the ability to segregate traffic flows for different type of data. RDMA CM abstract it for ULPs using rdma_set_service_type(). Internally, each traffic flow is represented by a connection with all of its independent resources like that of a normal connection, and is differentiated by service type. In other words, there can be multiple qp connections between an IP pair and each supports a unique service type. The feature has been added from RDSv4.1 onwards and supports rolling upgrades. RDMA connection metadata also carries the tos information to set up SL on end to end context. The original code was developed by Bang Nguyen in downstream kernel back in 2.6.32 kernel days and it has evolved over period of time.
