[PATCH] iw_cm: use a default listen backlog if needed

[PATCH] iw_cm: use a default listen backlog if needed

[Steve Wise]

If the user creates a listening cm_id with backlog of 0 the IWCM ends up
not allowing any connection requests at all.  The correct behavior is for
the IWCM to pick a default value if the user backlog parameter is zero.

Lustre from version 1.8.8 onward uses a backlog of 0 which breaks iwarp
support.
