Subject: [PATCH 5.5 126/170] RDMA/mlx5: Block delay drop to unprivileged users

From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@...lanox.com>

commit ba80013fba656b9830ef45cd40a6a1e44707f47a upstream.

It has been discovered that this feature can globally block the RX port,
so it should be allowed for highly privileged users only.

Fixes: 03404e8ae652("IB/mlx5: Add support to dropless RQ")
