dibs: Define dibs loopback

The first stage of loopback-ism was implemented as part of the
SMC module [1]. Now that we have the dibs layer, provide access to a
dibs_loopback device to all dibs clients.

This is the first step of moving loopback-ism from net/smc/smc_loopback.*
to drivers/dibs/dibs_loopback.*. One global structure lo_dev is allocated
and added to the dibs devices. Follow-on patches will move functionality.

Same as smc_loopback, dibs_loopback is provided by a config option.
Note that there is no way to dynamically add or remove the loopback
device. That could be a future improvement.

When moving code to drivers/dibs, replace ism_ prefix with dibs_ prefix.
As this is mostly a move of existing code, copyright and authors are
unchanged.
