Subject: [PATCH 2/5] RDS: Fix potential race around rds_i[bw]_allocation

>From Shin Hong:

"At rds_ib_recv_refill_one(), it first executes atomic_read(&rds_ib_allocation)
for if-condition checking,

and then executes atomic_inc(&rds_ib_allocation) if the condition was
not satisfied.

However, if any other code which updates rds_ib_allocation executes
between these two atomic operation executions,
it seems that it may result race condition. (especially when
rds_ib_allocation + 1 == rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation)"

This patch fixes this by using atomic_inc_unless to eliminate the
possibility of allocating more than rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation
and then decrementing the count if the allocation fails. It also
makes an identical change to the iwarp transport.
