mlx4_core: Add module parameter for number of MTTs per segment

The current MTT allocator uses kmalloc() to allocate a buffer for its
buddy allocator, and thus is limited in the amount of MTT segments
that it can control.  As a result, the size of memory that can be
registered is limited too.  This patch uses a module parameter to
control the number of MTT entries that each segment represents,
allowing more memory to be registered with the same number of
segments.
