Introduce AH attribute copy, move and replace APIs to be used by core and provider drivers. In CM code flow when ah attribute might be re-initialized twice while processing incoming request, or initialized once while from path record while sending out CM requests. Therefore use rdma_move_ah_attr API to handle such scenarios instead of memcpy(). Provider drivers keeps a copy ah_attr during the lifetime of the ah. Therefore, use rdma_replace_ah_attr() which conditionally release reference to old ah_attr and holds reference to new attribute whose referrence is released when the AH is freed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
