mlx4: change TX coalescing defaults
mlx4 currently uses a too high tx coalescing setting, deferring TX completion interrupts by up to 128 us. With the recent skb_orphan() removal in commit 8112ec3b, performance of a single TCP flow is capped to ~4 Gbps, unless we increase tcp_limit_output_bytes. I suggest using 16 us instead of 128 us, allowing a finer control. Performance of a single TCP flow is restored to previous levels, while keeping TCP small queues fully enabled with default sysctl. This patch is also a BQL prereq.
