Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 110/133] IB/mlx4: Fix potential deadlock when sending mad to wire

3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

commit 90c1d8b6350cca9d8a234f03c77a317a7613bcee upstream.

send_mad_to_wire takes the same spinlock that is taken in
the interrupt context.  Therefore, it needs irqsave/restore.

Fixes: b9c5d6a64358 ('IB/mlx4: Add multicast group (MCG) paravirtualization for SR-IOV')
