3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Mason <c...@fb.com>

commit c98235cb8584a72e95786e17d695a8e5fafcd766 upstream.

The mlx4 driver is triggering schedules while atomic inside
mlx4_en_netpoll:

        spin_lock_irqsave(&cq->lock, flags);
        napi_synchronize(&cq->napi);
                ^^^^^ msleep here
        mlx4_en_process_rx_cq(dev, cq, 0);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cq->lock, flags);

This was part of a patch by Alexander Guller from Mellanox in 2011,
but it still isn't upstream.
