[PATCH rdma-next v3 06/14] IB/core: Introduce counters read verb

[Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org>]

From: Raed Salem <raeds@mellanox.com>

The user supplies counters instance and a reference to an output
array of uint64_t.
The driver reads the hardware counters values and writes them to
the output index location in the user supplied array.
All counters values are represented as uint64_t types.

To be able to successfully read the data the counters must be
first bound to an IB object.

Downstream patches will present binding method for
flow counters.
