This patch fixes a bug that the moderation config will not be
applied when calling mlx4_en_reset_config. For example, when
turning on rx timestamping, mlx4_en_reset_config() will be called,
causing the NIC to forget previous moderation config.
This fix is in phase with a previous fix:
commit 79c54b6bbf ("net/mlx4_en: Fix TX moderation info loss
after set_ringparam is called")
Tested: Before this patch, on a host with NIC using mlx4, run
netserver and stream TCP to the host at full utilization.
$ sar -I SUM 1
INTR intr/s
14:03:56 sum 48758.00
After rx hwtstamp is enabled:
$ sar -I SUM 1
14:10:38 sum 317771.00
We see the moderation is not working properly and issued 7x more
interrupts.
After the patch, and turned on rx hwtstamp, the rate of interrupts
is as expected:
$ sar -I SUM 1
14:52:11 sum 49332.00
