	Improve uverbs_cleanup_ucontext algorithm to work properly when the topology graph of the objects cannot be determined at compile time. This is the case with objects created via the devx interface in mlx5. Typically uverbs objects must be created in a strict topologically sorted order, so that LIFO ordering will generally cause them to be freed properly. There are only a few cases (eg memory windows) where objects can point to things out of the strict LIFO order. Instead of using an explicit ordering scheme where the HW destroy is not allowed to fail, go over the list multiple times and allow the destroy function to fail. If progress halts then a final, desperate, cleanup is done before leaking the memory. This indicates a driver bug.

2018-04-05	IB/uverbs: Add alloc/free dm uverbs ioctl support	Ariel Levkovich	1	-0/+108
	This change adds uverbs support for allocation/freeing of device memory commands. A new uverbs object is defined of type idr to represent and track the new resource type allocation per context. The API requires provider driver to implement 2 new ib_device callbacks - one for allocation and one for deallocation which return and accept (respectively) the ib_dm object which represents the allocated memory on the device. The support is added via the ioctl command infrastructure only.
