[PATCH V5] rxe: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in post_one_send

[Jia-Ju Bai]

The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
post_one_send (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
  init_send_wqe
    copy_from_user --> may sleep

There is no flow that makes "qp->is_user" true, and copy_from_user may
cause bug when a non-user pointer is used. So the lines of copy_from_user
and check of "qp->is_user" are removed.

V5:
* Remove useless check of "qp->is_user".
  Thank Leon for pointing it out.

V4:
* Remove the line of copy_from_user.
  Thank Moni for good advice.

V3:
* It corrects the mistakes of remaining legacy code in V2.
  Thank Ram for pointing it out.

V2:
* The parameter "flags" is added to restore and save the irq status.
  Thank Leon for good advice.
