Subject: [PATCH 4.9 210/329] RDMA/qedr: fix QPs ack timeout configuration

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

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

From: "Kalderon, Michal" <Michal.Kalderon@...ium.com>

[ Upstream commit c3594f22302cca5e924e47ec1cc8edd265708f41 ]

QPs that were configured with ack timeout value lower than 1
msec will not implement re-transmission timeout.
This means that if a packet / ACK were dropped, the QP
will not retransmit this packet.

This can lead to an application hang.

Fixes: cecbcddf6 ("qedr: Add support for QP verbs")
