In order to be able to expose pointers to the ib_gid_attrs in the GID table we need to make it so the value of the pointer cannot be changed. Thus each GID table entry gets a unique piece of kref'd memory that is written only during initialization and remains constant for its lifetime. This eventually will allow the struct ib_gid_attrs to be returned without copy from many of query the APIs, but it also provides a way to track when all users of a HW table index go away. For roce we no longer allow an in-use HW table index to be re-used for a new an different entry. When a GID table entry needs to be removed it is hidden from the find API, but remains as a valid HW index and all ib_gid_attr points remain valid. The HW index is not relased until all users put the kref. Later patches will broadly replace the use of the sgid_index integer with the kref'd structure. Ultimately this will prevent security problems where the OS changes the properties of a HW GID table entry while an active user object is still using the entry.
