ib_query_port() calls device->ops.query_port() to get the port
attributes. The method of querying is device driver specific.
The same function calls device->ops.query_gid() to get the GID and
extract the subnet_prefix (gid_prefix).

The GID and subnet_prefix are stored in a cache. But they do not get
read from the cache if the device is an Infiniband device. The
following change takes advantage of the cached subnet_prefix.
Testing with RDBMS has shown a significant improvement in performance
with this change.

The function ib_cache_is_initialised() is introduced because
ib_query_port() gets called early in the stage when the cache is not
built while reading port immutable property.

In that case, the default GID still gets read from HCA for IB link-
layer devices.

In the situation of an event causing cache update, the subnet_prefix
will get retrieved from newly updated GID cache in ib_cache_update(),
so that we do not end up reading a stale value from cache via
ib_query_port().

v1 -> v2:
     -   Split the v1 patch in 3 patches as per Leon's suggestion.

v2 -> v3:
     -   Added changes as per Mark Zhang's suggestion of clearing
         flags in git_table_cleanup_one().
v3 -> v4:
     -   Removed the enum ib_port_data_flags and 8 byte flags from
         struct ib_port_data, and the set_bit()/clear_bit() API
         used to update this flag as that was not necessary.
         Done to keep the code simple.
     -   Added code to read subnet_prefix from updated GID cache in the
         event of cache update. Prior to this change, ib_cache_update
         was reading the value for subnet_prefix via ib_query_port(),
         due to this patch, we ended up reading a stale cached value of
         subnet_prefix.

I think that this line is not needed, we are removing device anyway and
and query_port is not allowed at this stage.

We have kept this for code completeness purposes. Just as we did with set_bit() and clear_bit() APIs.

IMHO, we don't need this new function and can access ib_port_data
directly. In device.c, we have plenty of places that does it.

Not critical.

Added this function to have a way to check validity of cache, such that it could be used in future for the same check in areas to which ib_port_data is opaque.

Also, there was a review comment from Mark Zhang for patch version 2, where he had suggested to shift clear_bit(IB_PORT_CACHE_INITIALIZED, &device->port_data[p].flags);
to gid_table_cleanup_one().

Thanks,
Anand
