RDMA/cma: Add an ID_REUSEADDR option



Lustre requires that clients bind to a privileged port number before
connecting to a remote server.  On larger clusters (typically more
than about 1000 nodes), the number of privileged ports is exhausted,
resulting in lustre being unusable.

To handle this, we add support for reusable addresses to the rdma_cm.
This mimics the behavior of the socket option SO_REUSEADDR.  A user
may set an rdma_cm_id to reuse an address before calling
rdma_bind_addr() (explicitly or implicitly).  If set, other
rdma_cm_id's may be bound to the same address, provided that they all
have reuse enabled, and there are no active listens.

If rdma_listen() is called on an rdma_cm_id that has reuse enabled, it
will only succeed if there are no other id's bound to that same
address.  The reuse option is exported to user space.  The behavior of
the kernel reuse implementation was verified against that given by
sockets.
