IB/uverbs: Add enum attribute type to ioctl() interface



Methods sometimes need to get one attribute out of a group of
pre-defined attributes. This is an enum-like behavior. Since
this is a common requirement, we add a new ENUM attribute to the
generic uverbs ioctl() layer. This attribute is embedded in methods,
like any other attributes we currently have. ENUM attributes point to
an array of standard UVERBS_ATTR_PTR_IN. The user-space encodes the
enum's attribute id in the id field and the internal PTR_IN attr id in
the enum_data.elem_id field. This ENUM attribute could be shared by
several attributes and it can get UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MANDATORY flag,
stating this attribute must be supported by the kernel, like any other
attribute.
