Tadeusz Struk 22546b741a IB/hfi1: Fix softlockup issue
Soft lockups can occur because the mad processing on different CPUs acquire
the spin lock dc8051_lock:

[534552.835870]  [<ffffffffa026f993>] ? read_dev_port_cntr.isra.37+0x23/0x160 [hfi1]

[534552.835966]  [<ffffffff810a8d76>] worker_thread+0x126/0x410
[534552.835969]  [<ffffffff810a8c50>] ? rescuer_thread+0x460/0x460
[534552.835971]  [<ffffffff810b052f>] kthread+0xcf/0xe0
[534552.835974]  [<ffffffff810b0460>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x140/0x140
[534552.835977]  [<ffffffff81696418>] ret_from_fork+0x58/0x90
[534552.835980]  [<ffffffff810b0460>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x140/0x140

This issue is made worse when the 8051 is busy and the reads take longer.
Fix by using a non-spinning lock procure.
