[PATCH for-next] RDMA/core/sa_query: Retry SA queries

[Håkon Bugge]

A MAD packet is sent as an unreliable datagram (UD). SA requests are
sent as MAD packets. As such, SA requests or responses may be silently
dropped.

IB Core's MAD layer has a timeout and retry mechanism, which amongst
other, is used by RDMA CM. But it is not used by SA queries. The lack
of retries of SA queries leads to long specified timeout, and error
being returned in case of packet loss. The ULP or user-land process
has to perform the retry.

Fix this by taking advantage of the MAD layer's retry mechanism.

First, a check against a zero timeout is added in
rdma_resolve_route(). In send_mad(), we set the MAD layer timeout to
one tenth of the specified timeout and the number of retries to
10. The special case when timeout is less than 10 is handled.

With this fix:

 # ucmatose -c 1000 -S 1024 -C 1

runs stable on an Infiniband fabric. Without this fix, we see an
intermittent behavior and it errors out with:

cmatose: event: RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_ERROR, error: -110

(110 is ETIMEDOUT)
