[ Upstream commit 7fd1507df7cee9c533f38152fcd1dd769fcac6ce ]

The mlx4 driver will proxy MAD packets through the PF driver. A VM or an
instantiated VF will send its MAD packets to the PF driver using
loop-back. The PF driver will be informed by an interrupt, but defer the
handling and polling of CQEs to a worker thread running on an ordered
work-queue.

Consider the following scenario: the VMs will in short proximity in time,
for example due to a network event, send many MAD packets to the PF
driver. Lets say there are K VMs, each sending N packets.

The interrupt from the first VM will start the worker thread, which will
poll N CQEs. A common case here is where the PF driver will multiplex the
packets received from the VMs out on the wire QP.

But before the wire QP has returned a send CQE and associated interrupt,
the other K - 1 VMs have sent their N packets as well.

The PF driver has to multiplex K * N packets out on the wire QP. But the
send-queue on the wire QP has a finite capacity.

So, in this scenario, if K * N is larger than the send-queue capacity of
the wire QP, we will get MAD packets dropped on the floor with this
dynamic debug message:

mlx4_ib_multiplex_mad: failed sending GSI to wire on behalf of slave 2 (-11)

and this despite the fact that the wire send-queue could have capacity,
but the PF driver isn't aware, because the wire send CQEs have not yet
been polled.

We can also have a similar scenario inbound, with a wire recv-queue larger
than the tunnel QP's send-queue. If many remote peers send MAD packets to
the very same VM, the tunnel send-queue destined to the VM could allegedly
be construed to be full by the PF driver.

This starvation is fixed by introducing separate work queues for the wire
QPs vs. the tunnel QPs.

With this fix, using a dual ported HCA, 8 VFs instantiated, we could run
cmtime on each of the 18 interfaces towards a similar configured peer,
each cmtime instance with 800 QPs (all in all 14400 QPs) without a single
CM packet getting lost.
