[ Upstream commit 81091d7696ae71627ff80bbf2c6b0986d2c1cce3 ] HW flushes after QP in error state is not reliable. This can lead to application hang waiting on a completion for outstanding WRs. Implement a SW mechanism to generate completions for any outstanding WR's after the QP is modified to error. This is accomplished by starting a delayed worker after the QP is modified to error and the HW flush is performed. The worker will generate completions that will be returned to the application when it polls the CQ. This mechanism only applies to Kernel applications.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
