RDMA/mlx4: Restrict external umem for CQ when copy_to_user() is used

Browse source

When the mlx4 firmware reports the MLX4_DEV_CAP_FLAG2_SW_CQ_INIT capability,
libmlx4 from the rdma-core package expects the driver to initialize memory
at the address provided in the buf_addr parameter of ucmd.

This behavior cannot be supported by any external umem implementation, so
restrict it accordingly.
