IB/{qib, hfi1}: Avoid flow control testing for RDMA write operation

commit 5b0ef650bd0f820e922fcc42f1985d4621ae19cf upstream.

Section 9.7.7.2.5 of the 1.3 IBTA spec clearly says that receive
credits should never apply to RDMA write.

qib and hfi1 were doing that.  The following situation will result
in a QP hang:
- A prior SEND or RDMA_WRITE with immmediate consumed the last
  credit for a QP using RC receive buffer credits
- The prior op is acked so there are no more acks
- The peer ULP fails to post receive for some reason
- An RDMA write sees that the credits are exhausted and waits
- The peer ULP posts receive buffers
- The ULP posts a send or RDMA write that will be hung

The fix is to avoid the credit test for the RDMA write operation.
