This would only happen on a mem-full HCA. I just asked Linus to pull
the following fix.

IB/mthca: Use IRQ safe locks to protect allocation bitmaps
It is supposed to be OK to call mthca_create_ah() and mthca_destroy_ah()
from any context. However, for mem-full HCAs, these functions use the
mthca_alloc() and mthca_free() bitmap helpers, and those helpers use
non-IRQ-safe spin_lock() internally. Lockdep correctly warns that
this could lead to a deadlock. Fix this by changing mthca_alloc() and
mthca_free() to use spin_lock_irqsave().
