IB/rdmavt, hfi1: Fix NFSoRDMA failure with FRMR enabled

Hanging has been observed while writing a file over NFSoRDMA. Dmesg on
the server contains messages like these:

[  931.992501] svcrdma: Error -22 posting RDMA_READ
[  952.076879] svcrdma: Error -22 posting RDMA_READ
[  982.154127] svcrdma: Error -22 posting RDMA_READ
[ 1012.235884] svcrdma: Error -22 posting RDMA_READ
[ 1042.319194] svcrdma: Error -22 posting RDMA_READ

Here is why:

With the base memory management extension enabled, FRMR is used instead
of FMR. The xprtrdma server issues each RDMA read request as the following
bundle:

(1)IB_WR_REG_MR, signaled;
(2)IB_WR_RDMA_READ, signaled;
(3)IB_WR_LOCAL_INV, signaled & fencing.

These requests are signaled. In order to generate completion, the fast
register work request is processed by the hfi1 send engine after being
posted to the work queue, and the corresponding lkey is not valid until
the request is processed. However, the rdmavt driver validates lkey when
the RDMA read request is posted and thus it fails immediately with error
-EINVAL (-22).

This patch changes the work flow of local operations (fast register and
local invalidate) so that fast register work requests are always
processed immediately to ensure that the corresponding lkey is valid
when subsequent work requests are posted. Local invalidate requests are
processed immediately if fencing is not required and no previous local
invalidate request is pending.

To allow completion generation for signaled local operations that have
been processed before posting to the work queue, an internal send flag
RVT_SEND_COMPLETION_ONLY is added. The hfi1 send engine checks this flag
and only generates completion for such requests.
