IB/core: Handle table with full and partial membership for the same P_Key
Extend the cached and non-cached P_Key table lookups to handle limited and full membership of the same P_Key to co-exist in the P_Key table. This is necessary for SR-IOV, to allow for some guests would to have the full membership P_Key in their virtual P_Key table, while other guests on the same physical HCA would have the limited one. To support this, we need both the limited and full membership P_Keys to be present in the master's (hypervisor physical port) P_Key table. The algorithm for handling P_Key tables which contain both the limited and the full membership versions of the same P_Key works as follows: When scanning the P_Key table for a 15-bit P_Key: A. If there is a full member version of that P_Key anywhere in the table, return its index (even if a limited-member version of the P_Key exists earlier in the table). B. If the full member version is not in the table, but the limited-member version is in the table, return the index of the limited P_Key.
