IB/hfi1: Fix yield logic in send engine
When there are many RC QPs and an RDMA READ request is sent, timeouts occur on the requester side because of fairness among RC QPs on their relative SDMA engine on the responder side. This also hits write and send, but to a lesser extent. Complicating the issue is that the current code checks if workqueue is congested before scheduling other QPs, however, this check is based on the number of active entries in the workqueue, which was found to be too big to for workqueue_congested() to be effective. Fix by reducing the number of active entries as revealed by experimentation from the default of num_sdma to HFI1_MAX_ACTIVE_WORKQUEUE_ENTRIES. Retry counts were monitored to determine the correct value. Tracing to investigate any future issues is also added.
