mlx4_core: Use mmiowb() to avoid firmware commands getting jumbled up
Firmware commands are sent to the HCA by writing multiple words to a command register block. Access to this block of registers is serialized with a mutex. However, on large SGI systems writes to the register block may be reordered within the system interconnect and reach the HCA in a different order than they were issued (even with the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before dropping the mutex. This bug was observed with real workloads with the similar FW command code in the mthca driver, and adding the mmiowb() as in commit 66547550 ("IB/mthca: Use mmiowb() to avoid firmware commands getting jumbled up") was confirmed to fix the problems, so we should add the same fix to mlx4.
