IB/qib: Fix double add_timer()
 
The following panic BUG_ON occurs during qib testing:

    Kernel BUG at include/linux/timer.h:82

    RIP  [<ffffffff881f7109>] :ib_qib:start_timer+0x73/0x89
     RSP <ffffffff80425bd0>
     <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
     <0>Dumping qib trace buffer from panic
    qib_set_lid INFO: IB0:1 got a lid: 0xf8
    Done dumping qib trace buffer
    BUG: warning at kernel/panic.c:137/panic() (Tainted: G

The flaw is due to a missing state test when processing responses that
results in an add_timer() call when the same timer is already queued.
This code was executing in parallel with a QP destroy on another CPU
that had changed the state to reset, but the missing test caused to
response handling code to run on into the panic.
