Subject[PATCH v2] nvme-rdma: remove race conditions from IB signalling
This patch improves the way the RDMA IB signalling is done
by using atomic operations for the signalling variable. This
avoids race conditions on sig_count.

The signalling interval changes slightly and is now the
largest power of two not larger than queue depth / 2.

ilog() usage idea by Bart Van Assche.

Changes from v1:
* remove nvme_rdma_init_sig_count, put all into
nvme_rdma_queue_sig_limit
