Subject: IB/ipoib: Fix for notify send CQ failure messages

From: Alex Estrin <alex.estrin@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 809cb6955650d892c6ef95f1d55f28fceded0ce1 ]

If IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS flag is passed in ib_req_notify_cq()
it may return positive value indicating non-empty CQ.
If return code not verified the log might be flooded with false
warning messages "request notify on send CQ failed".
