[ofa-general] [RFC PATCH 3/4] rdma/cma: add high availability mode attribute to IDs

RDMA_ALIGN_WITH_NETDEVICE high availability (ha) mode means that the consumer
of the rdma-cm wants that RDMA sessions would always use the same links (eg <hca/port>)
as the IP stack does. In the current code, this does not happen when bonding did
fail-over but the IB link used by an already existing session is operating fine.
For now this mode is supported only for the connected services of the rdma-cm.

More ha modes can be added in the future.
