Allow the comp_handler callback implementation to call ib_poll_cq().
A call to ib_poll_cq() calls rxe_poll_cq() with the rdma_rxe driver.
And rxe_poll_cq() locks cq->cq_lock. That leads to a spinlock deadlock.

The Mellanox and Intel drivers allow a comp_handler callback
implementation to call ib_poll_cq().

Avoid the deadlock by calling the comp_handler callback without
holding cq->cq_lock.

The new patch should be sent in a new mail thread; it is not appropriate 
to reply to the old thread.

Additionally:

The subject line does not include a version number.

The commit log of the new patch does not contain a changelog.

Other than these issues, I am fine with this commit.
