IB/hfi1: Fix SDMA mmu_rb_node not being evicted in LRU order
hfi1_mmu_rb_remove_unless_exact() did not move mmu_rb_node objects in mmu_rb_handler->lru_list after getting a cache hit on an mmu_rb_node. As a result, hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() was not guaranteed to evict truly least-recently used nodes. This could be a performance issue for an application when that application: - Uses some long-lived buffers frequently. - Uses a large number of buffers once. - Hits the mmu_rb_handler cache size or pinned-page limits, forcing mmu_rb_handler cache entries to be evicted. In this case, the one-time use buffers cause the long-lived buffer entries to eventually filter to the end of the LRU list where hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() will consider evicting a frequently-used long-lived entry instead of evicting one of the one-time use entries. Fix this by inserting new mmu_rb_node at the tail of mmu_rb_handler->lru_list and move mmu_rb_ndoe to the tail of mmu_rb_handler->lru_list when the mmu_rb_node is a hit in hfi1_mmu_rb_remove_unless_exact(). Change hfi1_mmu_rb_evict() to evict from the head of mmu_rb_handler->lru_list instead of the tail.
