Subject: [213/244] cnic: Fix interrupt logic

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com>

commit 93736656138e6d2f39f19c1d68f9ef81cfc9dd66 upstream.

We need to keep looping until cnic_get_kcqes() returns 0.  cnic_get_kcqes()
returns a maximum of 64 entries.  If there are more entries in the queue
and we don't loop back, the remaining entries may not be serviced for a
long time.
