IB/hfi1: Implement SDMA-side buffer caching
Add support for caching of user buffers used for SDMA transfers. This change improves performance by avoiding repeatedly pinning the pages of buffers, which are being re-used by the application. While the cost of the pinning operation has been made heavier by adding the extra code to search the cache tree, re-allocate pages arrays, and future cache evictions, that cost will be amortized against the savings when the same buffer is re-used. It is also worth noting that in most cases, the cost of pinning should be much lower due to the buffer already being in the cache.
