<title>IB/iser: Remove struct iscsi_iser_conn</title>

The iscsi stack has existing mechanisms to link back and forth between
the iscsi connection and the iscsi transport (e.g iser/tcp) connection.

This is done through a dd_data pointer field in struct iscsi_conn
which can be set to point to the transport connection, etc.

The iscsi_iser_conn structure was used to get this linking done in
another way, which is uneeded and adds extra complication to the iser
code, so we just remove it.

Add logic to initialize protection information entities.  Upon each
iSCSI task, we keep the scsi_cmnd in order to query the scsi
protection operations and reference to protection buffers.

Modify iser_fast_reg_mr to receive indication whether it is
registering the data or protection buffers.

In addition introduce iser_reg_sig_mr which performs fast registration
work-request for a signature enabled memory region
(IB_WR_REG_SIG_MR).  In this routine we set all the protection
relevants for the device to offload protection data-transfer and
verification.

This routines operates on data buffers and may also work with
protection infomation buffers.  So we generalize them to handle an
iser_data_buf which can be the command data or command protection
information.

This patch does not change any functionality.

keeping multiple bools.

This is a preparation step for T10-PI offload support.  We prefer to
push the desicion of which mkey to use (global or fastreg) to
iser_fast_reg_mr.  We choose to do this since in T10-PI we may need to
register for protection buffers and in this case we wish to simplify
iser_fast_reg_mr instead of repeating the logic of which key to use.

This patch does not change any functionality.

FRWR stands for "fast registration work request". We want to avoid
calling the fastreg pool with that name, instead we name it fastreg
which stands for "fast registration".

This pool will include more elements in the future, so it is a good
idea to generalize the name.

In case iSER uses fast registration method, it should not request for

consume error completions.

<title>IB/iser: Introduce fast memory registration model (FRWR)</title>

Newer HCAs and Virtual functions may not support FMRs but rather a fast
registration model, which we call FRWR - "Fast Registration Work Requests".

This model was introduced in 00f7ec36c ("RDMA/core: Add memory management
extensions support") and works when the IB device supports the
IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS capability.

Upon creating the iser device iser will test whether the HCA supports
FMRs.  If no support for FMRs, check if IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS
is supported and assign function pointers that handle fast
registration and allocation of appropriate resources (fast_reg
descriptors).

Registration is done using posting IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR to the QP and
invalidations using posting IB_WR_LOCAL_INV.
