I think assume 0 size inline for computing max sizes

The math is simply wrong - log_max_qp_sz is not the number of work
queue entries in the queue, it is the number of MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB's
units which is some internal value.

For a verbs API the result should be the max number of work queue
entries that can be requested for any of XRC/RC/UC/UD QP types using a
0 inline size, 1 SGL and no other special features.

Even for a simple RC QP sq_overhead() will return 132 which already
makes props->max_qp_wr uselessly wrong. 132 goes into here:

		return ALIGN(max_t(int, inl_size, size), MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB);

Comes out as 192 - so props->max_qp_wr is off by 3x even for a simple
no-feature RC QP.

Chuck is getting:

calc_sq_size:618:(pid 1514): send queue size (9326 * 256 / 64 -> 65536) exceeds limits(32768)

So I suppose that extra 64 bytes is coming from cap.max_send_sge >= 3?

Without a new API we can't make it fully discoverable, but the way it
is now is clearly wrong.
