rdma-core v16 has a bug. The following compilation error occurs on ARM
hosts.
In file included
from drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_glue.h:16:0,
from drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_glue.c:11:
/usr/include/infiniband/mlx5dv.h:144:2: error: unknown type name 'off_t'
off_t uar_mmap_offset;
^
As a temporary fix, sys/types.h is included in PMD. This has been fixed in
rdma-core v17. This can be removed when all the Linux distros are shipped
with rdma-core v17 or back-ported fix. As of now, RedHat 7.5 is known to
have rdma-core v16.

When built as separate objects, these libraries do not have unique names.
Since they do not maintain a stable ABI, loading an incompatible library
may result in a crash (e.g. in case multiple versions are installed).
This patch addresses the above by versioning glue libraries, both on the
file system (version suffix) and by comparing a dedicated version field
member in glue structures.

This lays the groundwork for externalizing rdma-core as an optional
run-time dependency instead of a mandatory one.
No functional change.
