Subject: [PATCH 3.16 262/305] net/mlx5: Fix potential deadlock in command
 mode change

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mohamad Haj Yahia <mohamad@...lanox.com>

commit 9cba4ebcf374c3772f6eb61f2d065294b2451b49 upstream.

Call command completion handler in case of timeout when working in
interrupts mode.
Avoid flushing the commands workqueue after acquiring the semaphores to
prevent a potential deadlock.

Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ('mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters')
