Enables the uverbs_remove_one to succeed despite the fact that there are running IB applications working with the given ib device. This functionality enables a HW device to be unbind/reset despite the fact that there are running user space applications using it. It exposes a new IB kernel API named 'disassociate_ucontext' which lets a driver detaching its HW resources from a given user context without crashing/terminating the application. In case a driver implemented the above API and registered with ib_uverb there will be no dependency between its device to its uverbs_device. Upon calling remove_one of ib_uverbs the call should return after disassociating the open HW resources without waiting to clients disconnecting. In case driver didn't implement this API there will be no change to current behaviour and uverbs_remove_one will return only when last client has disconnected and reference count on uverbs device became 0. In case the lower driver device was removed any application will continue working over some zombie HCA, further calls will ended with an immediate error.
