Mike Marciniszyn 4894710951 IB/qib: Optimize locking for get_txreq() ...

The current code locks the QP s_lock, followed by the pending_lock, I
guess to to protect against the allocate failing.

This patch only locks the pending_lock, assuming that the empty case
is an exeception, in which case the pending_lock is dropped, and the
original code is executed.  This will save a lock of s_lock in the
normal case.

The observation is that the sdma descriptors will deplete at twice the
rate of txreq's, so this should be rare.
