Jack Morgenstein a7e1f04905 net/mlx4_core: Fix deadlock when switching between polling and event fw commands
When switching from polling-based fw commands to event-based fw
commands, there is a race condition which could cause a fw command
in another task to hang: that task will keep waiting for the polling
sempahore, but may never be able to acquire it. This is due to
mlx4_cmd_use_events, which "down"s the sempahore back to 0.

During driver initialization, this is not a problem, since no other
tasks which invoke FW commands are active.

However, there is a problem if the driver switches to polling mode
and then back to event mode during normal operation.

The "test_interrupts" feature does exactly that.
Running "ethtool -t <eth device> offline" causes the PF driver to
temporarily switch to polling mode, and then back to event mode.
(Note that for VF drivers, such switching is not performed).

Fix this by adding a read-write semaphore for protection when
switching between modes.
