[openib-general] [PATCH] RDMA/amso1100: Prevent deadlock.

Merged two patches:

- create_qp and destroy_qp can be called from userspace
  and from other kernel routines, and it is possible to
  swap send_cq and recv_cq in different calls for
  creating different qp's (RFC). This can result in a
  deadlock, if the two locks are got out of order.

- Fix following warning in lockdep by teaching it about
  nesting of lock class :

: [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
: rdma_bw/3558 is trying to acquire lock:
:  (&cq->lock){....}, at: [<f9398d36>] c2_free_qp+0x78/0x180 [iw_c2]
: but task is already holding lock:
:  (&cq->lock){....}, at: [<f9398d29>] c2_free_qp+0x6b/0x180 [iw_c2]

Patch against 2.6.19-rc5.
