IB/hfi1: Prevent kernel QP post send hard lockups
commit b6eac931b9bb2bce4db7032c35b41e5e34ec22a5 upstream.
The driver progress routines can call cond_resched() when
a timeslice is exhausted and irqs are enabled.
If the ULP had been holding a spin lock without disabling irqs and
the post send directly called the progress routine, the cond_resched()
could yield allowing another thread from the same ULP to deadlock
on that same lock.
Correct by replacing the current hfi1_do_send() calldown with a unique
one for post send and adding an argument to hfi1_do_send() to indicate
that the send engine is running in a thread. If the routine is not
running in a thread, avoid calling cond_resched().
Fixes: Commit 831464ce4b74 ("IB/hfi1: Don't call cond_resched in atomic mode when sending packets")
