I made it an int so it could be initialized to -1 indicating it is not
set by the config.  This allows the rdma transport to use its default
value if the config does not specify any value.  I did this so the admin
could totally disable inline by specifying 0.   So I needed a value that
indicates "unspecified".

Ah, so setting it in a port that isn't the rdma transport will cause a
failure.  That makes sense.

Will do.

I wanted the user to be able to disable inline by setting it to 0.  Is
that not needed?  Maybe by adding back the nvmet_fabrics_ops field will
alleviate this issue.  Perhaps a default_inline_size field that rdma
sets to PAGE_SIZE.  Then configfs can default it to that.

For 64k pages, the default is 64K and the max is 64K.
