RDMA/mlx5: Extract IB specific lock out of data direct
The data_direct_lock from struct mlx5_ib_dev is an IB specific lock.
It protects from unbind while mlx5_data_direct_dev is being accessed.
So move data_direct_lock out of the generic bind/unbind functions
and into the IB specific notifier callback.
data_direct_dev can be set during bind/unbind with a simple WRITE_ONCE,
the lock is no longer needed.
Each user of the data direct registration API has to do their own
locking if necessary.
During unbind, the data_direct_dev is set to NULL before calling the
notifiers to avoid multiple users still accessing the data_direct_dev
while unbind is in progress. This is to avoid another data
direct specific lock which can lead to lock ordering issues.
This patch has no functional changes.
