[PATCH] RDMA/rxe: Fix a race condition related to the QP error state

The following sequence:
* Change queue pair state into IB_QPS_ERR.
* Post a work request on the queue pair.
Triggers the following race condition in the rdma_rxe driver:
* rxe_qp_error() triggers an asynchronous call of rxe_completer(), the function
that examines the QP send queue.
* rxe_post_send() posts a work request on the QP send queue.
Avoid that this race causes a work request to be ignored by scheduling
an rxe_completer() call from rxe_post_send() for queues that are in the
error state.
