Note that my patch removes the lock when calling ib_post_send.  But,
holding the lock when calling ib_post_send() should be fine.  Also, the
current completion code assumes that the work requests are queued in the
same order that the sends are posted in.  Releasing the lock after
queuing the request, but before calling ib_psot_send() allows work
requests to be posted out of order from the order that they are queued
on the send posted list.
