Subject: [PATCH 4.16 25/52] infiniband: mlx5: fix build errors when INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS=m

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

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

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

commit b3fe6c62bc66868c45b5bb16050e6bcb333af337 upstream.

Fix build errors when INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS=m and MLX5_INFINIBAND=y.
The build error occurs when the mlx5 driver code attempts to use
USER_ACCESS interfaces, which are built as a loadable module.

Fixes these build errors:

drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.o: In function `populate_specs_root':
../drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c:4982: undefined reference to `uverbs_default_get_objects'
../drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c:4994: undefined reference to `uverbs_alloc_spec_tree'
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.o: In function `depopulate_specs_root':
../drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c:5001: undefined reference to `uverbs_free_spec_tree'

Build-tested with multiple config combinations.
