The example pingpong programs have a race when using events
where the client sends the first packet but the server hasn't
yet armed the CQ by calling ibv_req_notify_cq() thus waiting
forever in ibv_get_cq_event().  The fix is to move the call
to ibv_req_notify_cq() before signaling the client to "start".
