RDMA/mlx5: Add handling for memory scheme page fault events
The memory scheme page fault event is a new approch in handling page fault on mkeys using the on-demand-paging feature. The major shift in handling the page fault in this scheme is that the HW is taking responsibilty for parsing the faulted mkey instead of the previous approach where the driver would read and parse the wqes and query the mkeys to get to the direct mkey that we need to handle. Therefore, the event we get from FW in this scheme will contain the direct mkey and address we need to handle and require much less work from driver. Additionally, to optimize performance, the FW can generate the event on a memory area that is larger than the faulted memory operation is requiring, to 'prefetch' memory that is around it and will likely be used soon. Unlike previous types of page fault, the memory page scheme fault does not always require a resume command after handling the page fault as the FW can post multiple events on same mkey and will set the 'last' flag only on the page fault that requires the resume command.
