IB/mlx4: Fix possible vl/sl field mismatch in LRH header in QP1 packets
In MLX qp packets, the LRH (built by the driver) has both a VL field and an SL field. When building a QP1 packet, the VL field should reflect the SLtoVL mapping and not arbitrarily contain zero (as is done now). This bug causes credit problems in IB switches at high rates of QP1 packets. The fix is to cache the SL to VL mapping in the driver, and look up the VL mapped to the SL provided in the send request when sending QP1 packets. For FW versions which support generating a port_management_config_change event with subtype sl-to-vl-table-change, the driver uses that event to update its sl-to-vl mapping cache. Otherwise, the driver snoops incoming SMP mads to update the cache. There remains the case where the FW is running in secure-host mode (so no QP0 packets are delivered to the driver), and the FW does not generate the sl2vl mapping change event. To support this case, the driver updates (via querying the FW) its sl2vl mapping cache when running in secure-host mode when it receives either a Port Up event or a client-reregister event (where the port is still up, but there may have been an opensm failover). OpenSM modifies the sl2vl mapping before Port Up and Client-reregister events occur, so if there is a mapping change the driver's cache will be properly updated.
