mlx4: Use port management change event instead of smp_snoop

The port management change event can replace smp_snoop.  If the
capability bit for this event is set in dev-caps, the event is used
(by the driver setting the PORT_MNG_CHG_EVENT bit in the async event
mask in the MAP_EQ fw command).  In this case, when the driver passes
incoming SMP PORT_INFO SET mads to the FW, the FW generates port
management change events to signal any changes to the driver.

If the FW generates these events, smp_snoop shouldn't be invoked in
ib_process_mad(), or duplicate events will occur (once from the
FW-generated event, and once from smp_snoop).

In the case where the FW does not generate port management change
events smp_snoop needs to be invoked to create these events.  The flow
in smp_snoop has been modified to make use of the same procedures as
in the fw-generated-event event case to generate the port management
events (LID change, Client-rereg, Pkey change, and/or GID change).

Port management change event handling required changing the
mlx4_ib_event and mlx4_dispatch_event prototypes; the "param" argument
(last argument) had to be changed to unsigned long in order to
accomodate passing the EQE pointer.

We also needed to move the definition of struct mlx4_eqe from
net/mlx4.h to file device.h -- to make it available to the IB driver,
to handle port management change events.
