mlx4: do not fire tasklet unless necessary
All rx and rx netdev interrupts are handled by respectively by mlx4_en_rx_irq() and mlx4_en_tx_irq() which simply schedule a NAPI. But mlx4_eq_int() also fires a tasklet to service all items that were queued via mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), but this handler was not called unless user cqe was handled. This is very confusing, as "mpstat -I SCPU ..." show huge number of tasklet invocations. This patch saves this overhead, by carefully firing the tasklet directly from mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), removing four atomic operations per IRQ.
