[ Upstream commit 410bd754cd73c4a2ac3856d9a03d7b08f9c906bf ]
It is possible that new command entry index allocation will temporarily fail. The new command holds the semaphore, so it means that a free entry should be ready soon. Add one second retry mechanism before returning an error.
Patch "net/mlx5: Avoid possible free of command entry while timeout comp handler" increase the possibility to bump into this temporarily failure as it delays the entry index release for non-callback commands.
