Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 115/219] IB/hfi1: Check for QSFP presence
 before attempting reads

From: Easwar Hariharan <easwar.hariharan@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit fb897ad315643e5dc1092a115b3cec914b66df9d ]

Attempting to read the status of a QSFP cable creates noise in the logs
and misses out on setting an appropriate Offline/Disabled Reason if the
cable is not plugged in. Check for this prior to attempting the read and
attendant retries.

Fixes: 673b975f1fba ("IB/hfi1: Add QSFP sanity pre-check")
