IB/ipoib: Add handling for sending of skb with many frags
IPoIB converts skb-fragments to sge adding 1 extra sge when SG is enabled.
Current codepath assumes that the max number of sge a device support
is at least MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1, there is no interaction with upper layers
to limit number of fragments in an skb if a device suports fewer
sges. The assumptions also lead to requesting a fixed number of sge
when IPoIB creates queue-pairs with SG enabled.
A fallback/slowpath is implemented using skb_linearize to
handle cases where the conversion would result in more sges than supported.
