This is taken from srp, and srp drains using a recv wr due to a race
causing a use-after-free condition in srp which re-posts a recv buffer
in the recv completion handler. srp does not really care if there are
pending send flushes.

I'm not sure if there are ordering rules for send/recv queues in
terms of flush completions, meaning that even if all recv flushes
were consumed maybe there are send flushes still pending.

I think that for a general drain helper it would be useful to
make sure that both the recv _and_ send flushes were drained.

So, something like:

void ib_drain_qp(struct ib_qp *qp)
{
	struct ib_qp_attr attr = { .qp_state = IB_QPS_ERR };
	struct ib_stop_cqe rstop, sstop;
	struct ib_recv_wr rwr = {}, *bad_rwr;
	struct ib_send_wr swr = {}, *bad_swr;
	int ret;

	rwr.wr_cqe = &rstop.cqe;
	rstop.cqe.done = ib_stop_done;
	init_completion(&rstop.done);

	swr.wr_cqe = &sstop.cqe;
	sstop.cqe.done = ib_stop_done;
	init_completion(&sstop.done);

	ret = ib_modify_qp(qp, &attr, IB_QP_STATE);
	if (ret) {
		WARN_ONCE(ret, "failed to drain QP: %d\n", ret);
		return;
	}

	ret = ib_post_recv(qp, &rwr, &bad_rwr);
	if (ret) {
		WARN_ONCE(ret, "failed to drain recv queue: %d\n", ret);
		return;
	}

	ret = ib_post_send(qp, &swr, &bad_swr);
	if (ret) {
		WARN_ONCE(ret, "failed to drain send queue: %d\n", ret);
		return;
	}

	wait_for_completion(&rstop.done);
	wait_for_completion(&sstop.done);
}

Thoughts?
