PSM2 is the only valid implementation for OmniPath (OPA).  UCX also
supports OmniPath, but it does so via Verbs, thus getting much lower
performance (typically 3 GiB/s instead of 10 GiB/s).

To work around that, give the mtl_psm2 component a higher priority
than the pml_ucx component.

Likewise for PSM: we want InfiniPath to be taken care of by PSM, not by UCX,
since UCX achieves worse performance.
