IB/hfi1: Optimize kthread pointer locking when queuing CQ entries
commit af8aab71 upstream. All threads queuing CQ entries on different CQs are unnecessarily synchronized by a spin lock to check if the CQ kthread worker hasn't been destroyed before queuing an CQ entry. The lock used in 6efaf10f ("IB/rdmavt: Avoid queuing work into a destroyed cq kthread worker") is a device global lock and will have poor performance at scale as completions are entered from a large number of CPUs. Convert to use RCU where the read side of RCU is rvt_cq_enter() to determine that the worker is alive prior to triggering the completion event. Apply write side RCU semantics in rvt_driver_cq_init() and rvt_cq_exit().
