IB/rxe: Avoid ICRC errors by copying into the skb first
The current process is to first calculate the CRC and then copy the client data into the packet. This leaves a window in which the packet contents and CRC can get out of sync, if the client changes the data after the CRC is calculated but before the data is copied. By copying the data into the packet and then calculating the CRC directly from the packet contents we eliminate the window. This can be seen with qperf's ud_bi_bw test. This seems like very strange/reckless client behavior, but whether the client has mangled its data or not RXE should be able to transfer it reliably.
