    RDMA/netlink: Remove netlink clients infrastructure · c9901724
    Leon Romanovsky authored
    RDMA netlink has a complicated infrastructure for dynamically
    registering and de-registering netlink clients to the NETLINK_RDMA
    group. The complicated portion of this code is not widely used because
    2 of the 3 current clients are statically compiled together with
    netlink.c. The infrastructure, therefore, is deemed overkill.
    
    Refactor the code to eliminate the dynamically added clients. Now all
    clients are pre-registered in a client array at compile time, and at run
    time they merely check-in with the infrastructure to pass their callback
    table for inclusion in the pre-sized client array.
    
    This also allows for future cleanups and removal of unneeded code in the
    iwcm* netlink handler.
