IB/hfi1: Optimize kthread pointer locking when queuing CQ entries

All threads queuing CQ entries on different CQs are unnecessarily
synchronized by a spin lock to check if the CQ kthread worker hasn't
been destroyed before queuing an CQ entry.

The lock used in 6efaf10f ("IB/rdmavt: Avoid queuing work into a
destroyed cq kthread worker") is a device global lock and will have
poor performance at scale as completions are entered from a large
number of CPUs.

Convert to use RCU where the read side of RCU is rvt_cq_enter() to
determine that the worker is alive prior to triggering the
completion event.
Apply write side RCU semantics in rvt_driver_cq_init() and
rvt_cq_exit().

Fixes: 6efaf10f
