RDS/IB: get the xmit max_sge from the RDS IB device on the connection
rds_ib_xmit_rdma() was calling ib_get_client_data() to get at the rds_ibdevice
just to get the max_sge for the transmit. This patch instead has it get it
directly off the rds_ibdev which is stored on the connection.
The current code won't free the rds_ibdev until all the IB connections that use
it are freed. So it's safe to reference the rds_ibdev this way. In the future
it also makes it easier to support proper reference counting of the rds_ibdev
struct.
As an additional bonus, this gets rid of the performance hit of calling in to
the IB stack to look up the rds_ibdev. The current implementation in the IB
stack acquires an interrupt blocking spinlock to protect the registration of
client callback data.
