Added rdma cgroup controller that does accounting, limit enforcement
on rdma/IB verbs and hw resources.

Added rdma cgroup header file which defines its APIs to perform
charing/uncharing functionality. It also defined APIs for RDMA/IB
stack for device registration. Devices which are registered will
participate in controller functions of accounting and limit
enforcements. It define rdmacg_device structure to bind IB stack
and RDMA cgroup controller.

RDMA resources are tracked using resource pool. Resource pool is per
device, per cgroup entity which allows setting up accounting limits
on per device basis.

Currently resources are defined by the RDMA cgroup.

Resource pool is created/destroyed dynamically whenever
charging/uncharging occurs respectively and whenever user
configuration is done. Its a tradeoff of memory vs little more code
space that creates resource pool object whenever necessary, instead of
creating them during cgroup creation and device registration time.

Currently, there are some discussions regarding the RDMA ABI. The current proposed approach (after a lot of discussions in the OFVWG) is to have driver dependent object types rather than the fixed set of IB object types we have today. AFAIK, some vendors might want to use the RDMA subsystem for a different fabrics which has a different set of objects. You could see RFCs for such concepts both from Mellanox and Intel on the linux-rdma mailing list.

Saying that, maybe we need to make the resource types a bit more flexible and dynamic.
