[openib-general] [PATCH] (fixed) reduce qp locking on cq poll

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Sorry, the previos patch had an extra chunk from my other work.
Resending.

-------------------

Locking during the poll cq operation can be reduced, by locking
the cq while qp is being removed from the qp array.
This also avoids an extra atomic operation for reference counting.

TODO implies the same can be done for cqs, but I dont see how, since
we dont take a lock on eq, so this I have left in the TODO.
This works but I dont have the fast hardware to check the speed effect.
