This appears to be an upstream kernel bug, and not limited to just Ubuntu/Debian. I'm currently running Arch Linux and this regression showed up in the 4.4 kernel. The last known good kernel version was 4.3.3. Kernel versions that have the issue include 4.4.1 and 4.5rc1.

The bandwidth of each link dropped from around 3Gbps to around 3Mbps (3 orders of magnitude worse!); reverting to the 4.2 kernel immediately fixed this problem. The 4.3 kernel from Debian does not appear to suffer from this regression. The regression shows up on both IB ports of the Mellanox MT25208 controller. Other hardware has not been tested.
