Or these 3 could be rolled into one uber function that returns true if the
consumer rejected, and sets 2 pointers passed in: one to the protocol reject
string, and one to the private data, if any.   If the something like like this:

bool rdma_reject_info(struct rdma_cm_id *id, int reason, char **protocol_msg,
char **consumer_data)

Kinda ugly, but only one call is needed vs 3 calls to get this info...
