RDMA/core: introduce rdma_restrict_node_type()
For smbdirect it required to use different ports depending on the RDMA protocol. E.g. for iWarp 5445 is needed (as tcp port 445 already used by the raw tcp transport for SMB), while InfiniBand, RoCEv1 and RoCEv2 use port 445, as they use an independent port range (even for RoCEv2, which uses udp port 4791 itself). Currently ksmbd is not able to function correctly at all if the system has iWarp (RDMA_NODE_RNIC) interface(s) and any InfiniBand, RoCEv1 and/or RoCEv2 interface(s) at the same time. And cifs.ko uses 5445 with a fallback to 445, which means depending on the available interfaces, it tries 5445 in the RoCE range or may tries iWarp with 445 as a fallback. This leads to strange error messages and strange network captures. To avoid these problems they will be able to use rdma_restrict_node_type(RDMA_NODE_RNIC) before trying port 5445 and rdma_restrict_node_type(RDMA_NODE_IB_CA) before trying port 445. It means we'll get early -ENODEV early from rdma_resolve_addr() without any network traffic and timeouts. This is designed to be called before calling any of rdma_bind_addr(), rdma_resolve_addr() or rdma_listen().
