RDMA/irdma: Fix OOB read during CQ MR registration
Sashiko pointed out an unrelated bug during a previous patch:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260512183852.614045-1-jmoroni%40google.com
This change fixes the bug by eliminating the cqmr->split field which
was not being set properly and instead just checks the CQ resize
feature flag directly.
The cqmr->split field essentially tracks whether IRDMA_FEATURE_CQ_RESIZE
is set, but it was not being set until CQ creation time, which is _after_
CQ memory registration (the only other place where it is referenced).
As a result, it would always be false during MR registration and would
therefore cause irdma_handle_q_mem to populate cqmr->shadow even for GEN_2
HW and beyond:
cqmr->shadow = (dma_addr_t)arr[req->cq_pages];
The issue is that for GEN_2 and beyond, req->cq_pages may be exactly equal
to iwmr->page_cnt and therefore equal to the size of arr, which would cause
an OOB read by one.
