net/mlx4: Treat VFs fair when handling comm_channel_events
Handling comm_channel_event in mlx4_master_comm_channel uses a double
loop to determine which slaves have requested work. The search is
always started at lowest slave. This leads to unfairness; lower VFs
tends to be prioritized over higher VFs.
The patch uses find_next_bit to determine which slaves to handle.
Fairness is implemented by always starting at the next to the last
start.
An MPI program has been used to measure improvements. It runs 500
ibv_reg_mr, synchronizes with all other instances and then runs 500
ibv_dereg_mr.
The results running 500 processes, time reported is for running 500
