net/mlx4_core: Use tasklet for user-space CQ completion events
Previously, we've fired all our completion callbacks straight from our ISR.
Some of those callbacks were lightweight (for example, mlx4_en's and
IPoIB napi callbacks), but some of them did more work (for example,
the user-space RDMA stack uverbs' completion handler). Besides that,
doing more than the minimal work in ISR is generally considered wrong,
it could even lead to a hard lockup of the system. Since when a lot
of completion events are generated by the hardware, the loop over those
events could be so long, that we'll get into a hard lockup by the system
watchdog.
In order to avoid that, add a new way of invoking completion events
callbacks. In the interrupt itself, we add the CQs which receive completion
event to a per-EQ list and schedule a tasklet. In the tasklet context
we loop over all the CQs in the list and invoke the user callback.
