CVE-2021-47261

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer

The function init_cq_frag_buf() can be called to initialize the current CQ
fragments buffer cq->buf, or the temporary cq->resize_buf that is filled
during CQ resize operation.

However, the offending commit started to use function get_cqe() for
getting the CQEs, the issue with this change is that get_cqe() always
returns CQEs from cq->buf, which leads us to initialize the wrong buffer,
and in case of enlarging the CQ we try to access elements beyond the size
of the current cq->buf and eventually hit a kernel panic.

  [ffff9f799ddcbf50] ret_from_fork_nospec_begin at ffffffffa6d95ddd

Fix it by getting the needed CQE by calling mlx5_frag_buf_get_wqe() that
takes the correct source buffer as a parameter.
