IB/mad: Ensure fairness in ib_mad_completion_handler
It was found that when a process was rapidly sending MADs other processes could be hung in their unregister calls. This would happen when process A was injecting packets fast enough that the single threaded workqueue was never exiting ib_mad_completion_handler. Therefore when process B called flush_workqueue via the unregister call it would hang until process A stopped sending MADs. The fix is to periodically reschedule ib_mad_completion_handler after processing a large number of completions. The number of completions chosen was decided based on the defaults for the recv queue size. However, it was kept fixed such that increasing those queue sizes would not adversely affect fairness in the future.
