RDMA/rxe: Fix a race condition in rxe_requester()

The rxe driver works as follows:
* The send queue, receive queue and completion queues are implemented as
  circular buffers.
* ib_post_send() and ib_post_recv() calls are serialized through a spinlock.
* Removing elements from various queues happens from tasklet
  context. Tasklets are guaranteed to run on at most one CPU. This serializes
  access to these queues. See also rxe_completer(), rxe_requester() and
  rxe_responder().
* rxe_completer() processes the skbs queued onto qp->resp_pkts.
* rxe_requester() handles the send queue (qp->sq.queue).
* rxe_responder() processes the skbs queued onto qp->req_pkts.

Since rxe_drain_req_pkts() processes qp->req_pkts, calling
rxe_drain_req_pkts() from rxe_requester() is racy. Hence this patch.
