RDMA/mlx5: Use PA mapping for PI handover

If possibe, avoid doing a UMR operation to register data and protection
buffers (via MTT/KLM mkeys). Instead, use the local DMA key and map the
SG lists using PA access. This is safe, since the internal key for data
and protection never exposed to the remote server (only signature key
might be exposed). If PA mappings are not possible, perform mapping
using MTT/KLM descriptors.

The setup of the tested benchmark (using iSER ULP):
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5 adapters
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):
