RDMA, core and ULPs: Declare ib_post_send() and ib_post_recv() arguments const

Browse Source 
Since neither ib_post_send() nor ib_post_recv() modify the data structure
their second argument points at, declare that argument const. This change
makes it necessary to declare the 'bad_wr' argument const too and also to
modify all ULPs that call ib_post_send(), ib_post_recv() or
ib_post_srq_recv(). This patch does not change any functionality but makes
it possible for the compiler to verify whether the
ib_post_(send|recv|srq_recv) really do not modify the posted work request.

To make this possible, only one cast had to be introduce that casts away
constness, namely in rpcrdma_post_recvs(). The only way I can think of to
avoid that cast is to introduce an additional loop in that function or to
change the data type of bad_wr from struct ib_recv_wr ** into int
(an index that refers to an element in the work request list). However,
both approaches would require even more extensive changes than this
patch.
