IB/umad: Simplify and fix locking

In addition to being overly complex, the locking in user_mad.c is
broken: there were multiple reports of deadlocks and lockdep warnings.
In particular it seems that a single thread may end up trying to take
the same rwsem for reading more than once, which is explicitly
forbidden in the comments in <linux/rwsem.h>.

To solve this, we change the locking to use plain mutexes instead of
rwsems.  There is one mutex per open file, which protects the contents
of the struct ib_umad_file, including the array of agents and list of
queued packets; and there is one mutex per struct ib_umad_port, which
protects the contents, including the list of open files.  We never
hold the file mutex across calls to functions like ib_unregister_mad_agent(),
which can call back into other ib_umad code to queue a packet, and we
always hold the port mutex as long as we need to make sure that a
device is not hot-unplugged from under us.

This even makes things nicer for users of the -rt patch, since we
remove calls to downgrade_write() (which is not implemented in -rt).
