Using ib_process_cq_direct() for queues that have another type than
IB_POLL_DIRECT may trigger concurrent CQ processing. Before this patch
the completions from each CQ were processed sequentially. That's a big
change so I think this should be mentioned clearly in the header above
ib_process_cq_direct().
