RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a
memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg
method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST
sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus
support for fastreg (aka FRWRs).
Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply
implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications
can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to
FRWRs.

Use the new function that is simpler and faster.

Putting the constant first is a supposed "best practice" that actually makes
the code harder to read.
Thanks to Roland Dreier for finding a bug in this "simple, obviously correct"
patch.

Some transports may support RDMA features. This handles the
non-transport-specific parts, like pinning user pages and
tracking mapped regions.
