Subject: IB/hfi1: Reset QSFP on every run through channel tuning

From: Easwar Hariharan <[email protected]>

commit b5e710195492f682d93097cddac13e594d39a946 upstream.

Active QSFP cables were reset only every alternate iteration of the channel tuning algorithm instead of every iteration due to incorrect reset of the flag that controlled QSFP reset, resulting in using stale QSFP status in the channel tuning algorithm.
