IB/qib: Fix qib_mr structure
struct qib_mr requires the mr member be the last because struct qib_mregion contains a dynamic array at the end. The additions of members should have been placed before this structure as the comment noted. Failure to do so was causing random memory corruption. Reproducing this bug was easy to do by running the client and server of ib_write_bw -s 8 -n 5 on the same node. This BUG() was tripped in a slab debug kernel: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2572!
