IB/hfi1: Improve SDMA engine assignment for user SDMA
Currently each user context is assigned a single SDMA engine based on the VL, context id, and subcontext id. That means for MPI applications, each rank can only use one SDMA engine for all messages. This may create unwanted backup for independent messages going to different destinations upon congestion at one destination. This patch adds the packet "dlid" to the formula of SDMA engine selection for user SDMA requests. A simple hash table is used to maintain even distribution among the available SDMA engines regardless how the "dlid" values are distributed.
