In order to support sysfs entries in multiple net namespaces for a rdma
device, introduce a ib_core_device whose scope is limited to hold core
device and per port sysfs related entries.
This is preparation patch so that multiple ib_core_devices in each net
namespace can be created in subsequent patch who all can share ib_device.
(a) Move sysfs specific fields to ib_core_device.
(b) Make sysfs and device life cycle related routines to work on
ib_core_device.
(c) Introduce and use rdma_init_coredev() helper to initialize
coredev fields.

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.
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.
