Staging: Add staging/rdma directory and update MAINTAINERS 

Create the rdma directory in the staging area for use as we deprecate
some older drivers and as we bring in some new drivers that are in
need of work.  Update the MAINTAINERS file so that updates to these
files go to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org.  Expected lifespan of this
directory is three releases for any deprecated drivers moved here
and an unknown, but theoretically bounded amount of time for the new
drivers as a new core RDMA transfer library needs to be written and
the drivers modified to use it in order for them to move out of this
directory.

---help---
This option allows you to select a number of RDMA drivers that
fall into one of two categories: deprecated drivers being held
here before finally being removed or new drivers that still need
some work before being moved to the normal RDMA driver area.
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
to report problems you have with them, please use the
linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org mailing list.
If in doubt, say N here.
