mthca: initialize send and receive queue locks separately
lockdep identifies a lock by the call site of its initialization. By
initializing the send and receive queue locks in mthca_wq_init() we confuse
lockdep. It warns that that the ordered acquiry of both locks in
mthca_modify_qp() is recursive acquiry of one lock:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
---------------------------------------------
modprobe/1192 is trying to acquire lock:
(&wq->lock){....}, at: [<f892b4db>] mthca_modify_qp+0x60/0xa7b [ib_mthca]
but task is already holding lock:
(&wq->lock){....}, at: [<f892b4ce>] mthca_modify_qp+0x53/0xa7b [ib_mthca]
Initializing the locks separately in mthca_alloc_qp_common() stops the warning
and will let lockdep enforce proper ordering on paths that acquire both locks.
