RDMA/ucma: Discard all events for new connections until accepted

After reporting a new connection request to user space, the rdma_ucm
will discard subsequent events until the user has associated a user
space idenfier with the kernel cm_id.  This is needed to avoid
reporting a reject/disconnect event to the user for a request that
they may not have processed.

The user space identifier is set once the user tries to accept the
connection request.  However, the following race exists in ucma_accept():

	ctx->uid = cmd.uid;
	<events may be reported now>
	ret = rdma_accept(ctx->cm_id, ...);

Once ctx->uid has been set, new events may be reported to the user.
While the above mentioned race is avoided, there is an issue that the
user _may_ receive a reject/disconnect event if rdma_accept() fails,
depending on when the event is processed.  To simplify the use of
rdma_accept(), discard all events unless rdma_accept() succeeds.

This problem was discovered based on questions from Roland Dreier
