Ok, thanks!

I also looked at patch 8 some more and noticed that those four
functions all do the exact same sequence:

- initialize a mlx5_ib_umr_context on the stack
- assign "umrwr.wr.wr_cqe = &umr_context.cqe"
- take the semaphore
- call ib_post_send with a single ib_send_wr
- wait for the mlx5_ib_umr_done() function to get called
- if we get back a failure, print a warning and return -EFAULT.
- release the semaphore

Moving all of these into a shared helper function would be
a good cleanup, and it leaves only a single function using
the semaphore, which can then be rewritten to use something
else.

The existing completion in there can be simplified to a
wait_event, since we are waiting for the return value to
be filled.
