ib_req_notify_cq(IB_CQ_NEXT_COMP) is not guaranteed to generate
a callback for the next completion entered since there is a race
between arming the callback and another CQE being added to the queue.
OpenFabrics added a IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS flag to detect this
race and allow the verbs consumer to call ib_poll_cq() and
ib_req_notify_cq() again to avoid delays in processing the CQE.

This patch by itself should improve RDS performance over QLogic
HCAs.  I was running "qperf rds_bw" tests and would sometimes
see "unexpected opcode 0xdead" messages from
rds_ib_send_cq_comp_handler(). I have looked very closely at the
code and I didn't see any race conditions which would explain
why delaying the completion callback would cause the message but
with this patch, I don't see the error message.
