net/mlx5: Use multi threaded workqueue for page fault handling

Browse source

Page fault events are processed in a workqueue context. Since each QP
can have up to two concurrent unrelated page-faults, one for requester
and one for responder, page-fault handling can be done in parallel.
Achieve this by changing the workqueue to be multi-threaded.
The number of threads is the same as the number of command interface
channels to avoid command interface bottlenecks.

In addition to multi-threads, change the workqueue flags to give it high
priority.

Stress benchmark shows that before this change 85% of page faults were
waiting in queue 8 seconds or more while after the change 98% of page
faults were waiting in queue 64 milliseconds or less. The number of threads
was chosen as the number of channels to the command interface.
