transport/ib-verbs: synchronize ib_verbs_recv_completion_proc with ib_verbs_receive so that the former doesn't overwrite the pointer from which latter reads.
- There can be a condition wherein,
1. the thread executing ib_verbs_recv_completion_proc (thr 1) stores the
buffer pointer and notifies the upper translators about a POLLIN event.
2. the thread waiting for events on socket (thr 2) calls transport_receive,
but in ib_verbs_receive it has not still read the data.
3. thr 1 receives work completion event for another work request and
overwrites the buffer pointer.
4. thr 2 reads from the new pointer there by missing the data stored in
buffer pointed by pointer which got overwritten.
