IB/{hfi1, qib, rdmavt}: Schedule multi RC/UC packets instead of posting
The post_send() path determines if it should post directly or, schedule the post for later. The current logic is: if the swqe ring is empty or (for hfi1) wqe->length <= piothreshold post the send else schedule This can allow large requests to call the send engine directly. Large requests can potentially produce a large number of packets prior to returning to the caller, blocking the caller from posting more requests, and allowing better parallel processing. Allow the driver(s) more say in this logic (pass call_send to the driver, rather than examining a return value). Update hfi1/qib logic to schedule the send engine if an RC or UC message is larger than the QP MTU size.
