Well the whoele cma_set_qkey() function appears to be complete
jumblied nonsense as if qkey is zero then it doesn't do anything if
the qkey was already set.

When called with 0 it is really some sort of 'make a default qkey if
the user hasn't set one already' and in that case defaulting to
RDMA_UDP_QKEY does makes some kind of sense.

The functions purposes should be split into two functions really.

So, we end up with 'make sure the cm id is in SDIR mode' then 'if the
qkey is not set, set it to a default', so that the net result is the
qkey is always set once the function returns.

Though, I'm not sure what the semantics are for qkey during SIDR
negotiation, that should be checked in the spec.
