Subject: [PATCH 3.14 38/84] IB/mlx4: Forbid using sysfs to change RoCE pkeys

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

commit 2b135db3e81301d0452e6aa107349abe67b097d6 upstream.

The pkey mapping for RoCE must remain the default mapping:
VFs:
  virtual index 0 = mapped to real index 0 (0xFFFF)
  All others indices: mapped to a real pkey index containing an
                      invalid pkey.
PF:
  virtual index i = real index i.

Don't allow users to change these mappings using files found in
sysfs.

Fixes: c1e7e466120b ('IB/mlx4: Add iov directory in sysfs under the ib device')
