Subject: [PATCH 1/7] IB/uverbs: convert *cdev to cdev in struct
	ib_uverbs_device

Instead of storing a pointer to a cdev, embed the entire struct cdev.

This change allows us to use the container_of() macro in
ib_uverbs_open() in a future patch.

This change increases the size of struct ib_uverbs_device to
168 bytes across 3 cachelines from 80 bytes in 2 cachelines.
However, we rearrange the members so that everything fits into
the first cacheline except for the struct cdev. Finally, we don't
touch the cdev in any fastpaths, so this change shouldn't negatively
affect performance.
