This addresses a problem where NFS client writes over IPoIB connected mode may deadlock on memory allocation/writeback. The problem is not directly memory reclamation. There is an indirect dependency between network filesystems writing back pages and ipoib_cm_tx_init() due to how a kworker is used. Page reclaim cannot make forward progress until ipoib_cm_tx_init() succeeds and it is stuck in page reclaim itself waiting for network transmission. Ordinarily this situation may be avoided by having the caller use GFP_NOFS but ipoib_cm_tx_init() does not have that information. To address this, take a general approach and add a new QP creation flag that tells the low-level hardware driver to use GFP_NOIO for the memory allocations related to the new QP. Use the new flag in the ipoib connected mode path, and if the driver doesn't support it, re-issue the QP creation without the flag.
