[SRU][N:linux-bluefield][PATCH v1 1/1] IB/mad: Check available slots before posting receive WRs

From: Maher Sanalla <msanalla at nvidia.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2126876

The ib_post_receive_mads() function handles posting receive work
requests (WRs) to MAD QPs and is called in two cases:
1) When a MAD port is opened.
2) When a receive WQE is consumed upon receiving a new MAD.

Whereas, if MADs arrive during the port open phase, a race condition
might cause an extra WR to be posted, exceeding the QP’s capacity.
This leads to failures such as:
infiniband mlx5_0: ib_post_recv failed: -12
infiniband mlx5_0: Couldn't post receive WRs
infiniband mlx5_0: Couldn't start port
infiniband mlx5_0: Couldn't open port 1

Fix this by checking the current receive count before posting a new WR.
If the QP’s receive queue is full, do not post additional WRs.
