[PATCH v2] xprtrdma: Make sure Send CQ is allocated on an existing compvec

[Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin]

Make sure the device has at least 2 completion vectors before allocating to compvec#1

Fixes: a4699f5647f3 (xprtrdma: Put Send CQ in IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE mode)
Signed-off-by: Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin <nmoreychaisemartin@suse.com>

Fixes since v1:
 - Use num_comp_vector instead online_cpus

I agree this fixes the bug, but wouldn't it be better to attempt
to steer the affinity to chosen cores, rather than unconditionally
using static values? At least make some determination that the
device, and the memory that was just allocated, were pointed to
slightly optimal NUMA node to handle its completions.

Does the verbs API not support this? I thought that was discussed
a while back.

The goal for the moment is to create a patch that can be
backported to stable kernels with minimal fuss.

It is true that spreading CQs across interrupt vectors is
desirable, but for various reasons, it has been difficult to
do it in a way that doesn't have bad behavior in some common
cases.

Sagi has constructed some infrastructure that works well for
ULPs that can create many transport instances, but we don't
yet have that ability for NFS.

I'm open to suggestions for a subsequent patch after Nicolas'
fix is merged.

Nit: You should split this line. Otherwise:

And I'll look into smarter compvec allocation again.
