uDAPL used the dapl_hca structure's ia_list to cleanup IA

Suppose a kDAPL consumer (another kernel module) is unloaded and
forgets to close an IA. What do we want to have happen when the kDAPL
module is unloaded? Don't we want the resources associated with any
open IA's cleaned up?

NO!!!
If other modules has a bug (forgot to close the IA) we are not going to hide
it.
ib_dat_provider module will not be able to go down (be unloaded) until the
bug will fixed.
Kernel is not a place where you clean other modules BUGS.
Udapl need this feature not Kdapl.
Please delete this list.
