net/mlx5: Use multi threaded workqueue for page fault handling
Page fault events are processed in a workqueue context. Since each QP can have up to two concurrent unrelated page-faults, one for requester and one for responder, page-fault handling can be done in parallel. Achieve this by changing the workqueue to be multi-threaded. The number of threads is the same as the number of command interface channels to avoid command interface bottlenecks. In addition to multi-threads, change the workqueue flags to give it high priority. Stress benchmark shows that before this change 85% of page faults were waiting in queue 8 seconds or more while after the change 98% of page faults were waiting in queue 64 milliseconds or less. The number of threads was chosen as the number of channels to the command interface.
