The commit noted below fixed a case where a pq is left on
the sdma wait list.
It however missed another case.
user_sdma_send_pkts() has two calls from hfi1_user_sdma_process_request().
If the first one fails as indicated by -EBUSY, the pq will be placed on
the waitlist as by design.
If the second call then succeeds, the pq is still on the waitlist
setting up a race with the interrupt handler if a subsequent request uses
a different SDMA engine
Fix by deleting the first call.
The use of pcount and the intent to send a short burst of packets followed
by the larger balance of packets was never correctly implemented, because
the two calls always send pcount packets no matter what. A subsequent
patch will correct that issue.
