IB/core: Obtain subnet_prefix from cache in IB devices
ib_query_port() calls device->ops.query_port() to get the port attributes. The method of querying is device driver specific. The same function calls device->ops.query_gid() to get the GID and extract the subnet_prefix (gid_prefix). The GID and subnet_prefix are stored in a cache. But they do not get read from the cache if the device is an Infiniband device. The following change takes advantage of the cached subnet_prefix. Testing with RDBMS has shown a significant improvement in performance with this change. The function ib_cache_is_initialised() is introduced because ib_query_port() gets called early in the stage when the cache is not built while reading port immutable property. In that case, the default GID still gets read from HCA for IB link- layer devices. In the situation of an event causing cache update, the subnet_prefix will get retrieved from newly updated GID cache in ib_cache_update(), so that we do not end up reading a stale value from cache via ib_query_port().
