The ib_dev_count is supposed to track the number of added ib devices
which is only used in rtrs_srv_{add,remove}_one.

However we only trigger rtrs_srv_add_one from rnbd_srv_init_module
-> rtrs_srv_open -> ib_register_client -> client->add which should
happen only once.
client->add is call per ib_device, eg:
jwang@xxxxxxxxxxxx:~$ ls -l /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov  8 13:49 /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_0 ->
../../devices/pci0000:ae/0000:ae:00.0/0000:af:00.0/infiniband/mlx5_0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov  8 13:49 /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_1 ->
../../devices/pci0000:ae/0000:ae:00.0/0000:af:00.1/infiniband/mlx5_1
rtrs will be call twice for  mlx5_0 and mlx5_1 devices

Ah, yes.

But still we can only load/unload module once, I guess it was used to avoid
racy condition (concurrent loading/unloading module?), could you elaborate
why it is needed?

Thanks,
Guoqing
