IB/mlx5: Prevent concurrent MR updates during invalidation
The device requires that memory registration work requests that update the address translation table of a MR will be fenced if posted together. This scenario can happen when address ranges are invalidated by the mmu in separate concurrent calls to the invalidation callback. We prefer to block concurrent address updates for a single MR over fencing since making the decision if a WQE needs fencing will be more expensive and fencing all WQEs is a too radical choice. Further, it isn't clear that this code can even run safely concurrently, so a lock is a safer choice.
