Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:

scenarios, the same page fragment was mistakenly assigned to two different Rx descriptors for Write,
causing this issue.

- Fixed a rare kernel crash scenario when exiting an application that uses RMPP mads
intensively.
- Fixed the issue where perftest applications (ib_read_*, ib_write_* and others) supplied with
MLNX_OFED v5.0 and above did not work correctly if corresponding applications on another side of
client-server communication were supplied with previous versions of MLNX_OFED due to an
interoperability issue.
- Fixed the issue where NEO-Host could not be installed from the MLNX_OFED package
when working on Ubuntu and Debian OSs.
- Fixed the issue where MLNX_OFED installation failed to upgrade firmware version on
ConnectX-6 Dx NICs with secure-fw.
- Added support for installing MLNX_OFED using --add-kernel-support option over
RHEL 8 OSs.
