[patch added to 3.12-stable] IB/mlx5: Use cache line size to select CQE stride

From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 16b0e0695a73b68d8ca40288c8f9614ef208917b upstream.

When creating kernel CQs use 128B CQE stride if the
cache line size is 128B, 64B otherwise.  This prevents
multiple CQEs from residing in a 128B cache line,
which can cause retries when there are concurrent
read and writes in one cache line.

Tested with IPoIB on PPC64, saw ~5% throughput
improvement.
