RDMA/core: Fix incorrect structure packing for booleans
The RDMA core uses ib_pack() to convert from unpacked CPU structs to on-the-wire bitpacked structs. This process requires that 1 bit fields are declared as u8 in the unpacked struct, otherwise the packing process does not read the value properly and the packed result is wired to 0. Several places wrongly used int. Crucially this means the kernel has never, set reversible correctly in the path record request. It has always asked for irreversible paths even if the ULP requests otherwise. When the kernel is used with a SM that supports this feature, it completely breaks communication management if reversible paths are not properly requested. The only reason this ever worked is because opensm ignores the reversible bit.
