IB/ipoib: Avoid flushing the workqueue from worker context

The error flow of ipoib_ib_dev_open() invokes ipoib_ib_dev_stop() with
workqueue flushing enabled, which deadlocks if the open procedure
itself was called by a worker thread.

Fix this by adding a flush enabled flag to ipoib_ib_dev_open() and set
it accordingly from the locations where such a call is made.

The call trace was the following:

 [<ffffffff81095bc4>] ? flush_workqueue+0x54/0x80
