Subject: [net-next 04/17] net/mlx5: DR, Enable QP retransmission

From: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@...dia.com>

Under high stress, SW steering might get stuck on polling for completion
that never comes.
For such cases QP needs to have protocol retransmission mechanism enabled.
Currently the retransmission timeout is defined as 0 (unlimited). Fix this
by defining a real timeout.
