[PATCH v2 libmlx5] fix err return values to match ibv_post_send expectations

[Jarod Wilson <jarod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The man page for ibv_post_send says:

   RETURN VALUE

       ibv_post_send() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure
       (which indicates the failure reason).

QEMU looks for the return value, and in the ENOMEM case, waits and
retries, but with mlx5, it ends up dropping requests and hanging, because
of the unexpected -1 return instead of ENOMEM.

The fix is simple: set err = E<whatever> instead of -1, and eliminate use
of errno = in _mlx5_post_send, just have mlx5_post_send return the err from
_mlx5_post_send instead. This fix has been confirmed to resolves the issues
seen with QEMU.

While we're at it, fix the MW_DEBUG code paths to no muck with errno either.

v2: per discussion with Jason Gunthorpe, don't set errno in mlx5_post_send
