Subject: RDMA/core: Document CM @event_handler function
Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc1
Git-commit: 4269024639f6ff9a1967c4bfa5a2ba7d9853384a
References: bsc#1103992 FATE#326009
Code audit suggests that the RDMA CM event handler callback function is
_always_ invoked in a context that is safe to block. That's important for
consumer implementers to know, so document that in the comment before
rdma_create_id (where the handler function is set up by the consumer).
