Subject: [PATCH V3] rxe: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in post_one_send

The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
post_one_send (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
  init_send_wqe
    copy_from_user --> may sleep

To fix it, the lock is released before copy_from_user, and the lock is
acquired again after this function. The parameter "flags" is used to
restore and save the irq status.
Thank Leon for good advice.

This patch corrects the mistakes in V2. (Thank Ram for pointing it out)
