net/rds: new extension header: rdma bytes

This patch introduces a new RDS extension header RDS_EXTHDR_RDMA_BYTES
for RDMA byte accounting and refactors rds_message_add_extension() to
support multiple extensions per message instead of just one.

The new rds_ext_header_rdma_bytes struct contains __be32 + u8 = 5 bytes
of data, but without __packed it will be padded to 8 bytes. This means
sizeof(struct rds_ext_header_rdma_bytes) returns 8, not 5.

With the h_exthdr space limited to 16 bytes, adding RDS_EXTHDR_RDMA
(1+4=5 bytes) plus RDS_EXTHDR_RDMA_BYTES (1+8=9 bytes) consumes 14 bytes,
leaving only 2 bytes available.

When rm->rdma.op_active and rm->m_rdma_cookie are both set, could this
cause rds_message_add_rdma_dest_extension() to silently fail? The
RDS_EXTHDR_RDMA_DEST extension requires 9 bytes (1+8), but only 2 bytes
remain after the RDMA and RDMA_BYTES extensions are added.

The return value of rds_message_add_rdma_dest_extension() is not checked
here. If both conditions are true, the RDMA destination cookie would be
silently dropped without any indication to the caller.

Should the struct be marked __packed to use only 5 bytes on the wire, or
should there be handling for the case when extension space runs out?

Without __packed, this struct will be 8 bytes due to padding after h_rflags.
The other extension header structs (rds_ext_header_rdma, 
rds_ext_header_rdma_dest)
use only __be32 fields so they have no padding concerns.
