RDMA/core: Delete RoCE GID in hw when corresponding IP is deleted
Currently a RoCE GID entry is removed from the hardware when all references to the GID entry drop to zero. This is a change in behavior from before the fixed patch. The GID entry should be removed from the hardware when GID entry deletion is requested. This allows the driver terminate ongoing traffic through the RoCE GID. While a GID is deleted from the hardware, GID slot in the software GID cache is not freed. GID slot is freed once all references of such GID are dropped. This continue to ensure that such GID slot of hardware is not allocated to new GID entry allocation request. It is allocated once all references to GID entry drop. This approach allows drivers to put a tombestone of some kind on the HW GID index to block the traffic.
