Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] net/mlx4: Avoid going into legacy completion mode when unnecessary

From: Carol L Soto <clsoto@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

If we get MAX_MSIX interrupts we can have each receive ring
to get their own msix interrupt line. As such, it's wrong to
go into legacy mode on that case, avoid that.

Fixes: 9293267a3e2a ('net/mlx4_core: Capping number of requested MSIXs to MAX_MSIX')
