IB/mthca: Don't cancel commands on a signal
We have run into the following problem: if a task receives a signal
while in the process of e.g. destroying a resource (which could be
because the relevant file was closed) mthca could bail out from trying
to take a command interface semaphore without performing the
appropriate command to tell hardware that the resource is being
destroyed.
As a result we see messages like
ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: HW2SW_CQ failed (-4)
In this case, hardware could access the resource after the memory has
been freed, possibly causing memory corruption.
A simple solution is to replace down_interruptible() by down() in
command interface activation.

[ It's also not safe to bail out on multicast table operations, since
they may be invoked on the cleanup path too. So use down() for
mcg_table.sem too. ]
