603e772992 IB/qib: Convert qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() to use get_user_pages_fast()
qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() gets called with mmap_sem held for
writing. Except for get_user_pages() deep down in
qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() we don't seem to need mmap_sem at all.  Even
more interestingly the function qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() (and also
qib_user_sdma_coalesce() called somewhat later) call copy_from_user()
which can hit a page fault and we deadlock on trying to get mmap_sem
when handling that fault.

So just make qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() use get_user_pages_fast() and
leave mmap_sem locking for mm.

This deadlock has actually been observed in the wild when the node
is under memory pressure.

4668e4b527 IB/qib: Improve SDMA performance
1. The code accepts chunks of messages, and splits the chunk into
   packets when converting packets into sdma queue entries.  Adjacent
   packets will use user buffer pages smartly to avoid pinning the
   same page multiple times.

2. Instead of discarding all the work when SDMA queue is full, the
   work is saved in a pending queue.  Whenever there are enough SDMA
   queue free entries, pending queue is directly put onto SDMA queue.

3. An interrupt handler is used to progress this pending queue.

Reset the list pointers after freeing the SDMA packet list.  This is
done to any potential double-free cases.
