[PATCH V5] rxe: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in post_one_send
From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Mon Jun 05 2017 - 08:22:19 EST
The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
post_one_send (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
init_send_wqe
copy_from_user --> may sleep
There is no flow that makes "qp->is_user" true, and copy_from_user may
cause bug when a non-user pointer is used. So the lines of copy_from_user
and check of "qp->is_user" are removed.

V5:
* Remove useless check of "qp->is_user".
Thank Leon for pointing it out.
V4:
* Remove the line of copy_from_user.
Thank Moni for good advice.
V3:
* It corrects the mistakes of remaining legacy code in V2.
Thank Ram for pointing it out.
V2:
* The parameter "flags" is added to restore and save the irq status.
Thank Leon for good advice.
