[ofa-general] [PATCH 1/4] IB/ipath - Fix a race where s_last updated w/o lock held.

From: Ralph Campbell <ralph.campbell at qlogic.com>

There is a small window where a send work queue entry could be
overwritten by ib_post_send() because s_last is updated before the
entry is read.
This patch closes the window by acquiring the lock and updating
the last send work queue entry index after reading the wr_id.
