Subject: [PATCH 3.17 033/122] ib_isert: Add max_send_sge=2 minimum for control PDU responses

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com>

commit f57915cfa5b2b14c1cffa2e83c034f55e3f0e70d upstream.

This patch adds a max_send_sge=2 minimum in isert_conn_setup_qp()
to ensure outgoing control PDU responses with tx_desc->num_sge=2
are able to function correctly.

This addresses a bug with RDMA hardware using dev_attr.max_sge=3,
that in the original code with the ConnectX-2 work-around would
result in isert_conn->max_sge=1 being negotiated.

Originally reported by Chris with ocrdma driver.
