IB/hfi1: Remove race conditions in user_sdma send path
Packet queue state is over used to determine SDMA descriptor
availablitity and packet queue request state.
cpu 0 ret = user_sdma_send_pkts(req, pcount);
cpu 0 if (atomic_read(&pq->n_reqs))
cpu 1 IRQ user_sdma_txreq_cb calls pq_update() (state to _INACTIVE)
cpu 0 xchg(&pq->state, SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE);
At this point pq->n_reqs == 0 and pq->state is incorrectly
SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE. The close path will hang waiting for the state
to return to _INACTIVE.
This can also change the state from _DEFERRED to _ACTIVE. However,
this is a mostly benign race.
Remove the racy code path.
Use n_reqs to determine if a packet queue is active or not.
