IB/mthca: Don't cancel commands on a signal

We have run into the following problem: if a task receives a signal
while in the process of e.g. destroying a resource (which could be
because the relevant file was closed) mthca could bail out from trying
to take a command interface semaphore without performing the
appropriate command to tell hardware that the resource is being
destroyed.

As a result we see messages like
 ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: HW2SW_CQ failed (-4)

In this case, hardware could access the resource after the memory has
been freed, possibly causing memory corruption.

A simple solution is to replace down_interruptible() by down() in
command interface activation.

[ It's also not safe to bail out on multicast table operations, since
  they may be invoked on the cleanup path too.  So use down() for
  mcg_table.sem too. ]
