Michael Brown def46cf344 [hermon] Limit link poll frequency in DOWN state
Some older versions of the hardware (and/or firmware) do not report an
event when an Infiniband link reaches the INIT state.  The driver
works around this missing event by calling ib_smc_update() on each
event queue poll while the link is in the DOWN state.

Commit 6cb12ee ("[hermon] Increase polling rate for command
completions") addressed this by speeding up the time taken to issue
each command invoked by ib_smc_update().  Experimentation shows that
the impact is still significant: for example, in a situation where an
unplugged port is opened, the throughput on the other port can be
reduced by over 99%.

Fix by throttling the rate at which link polling is attempted.
