[PATCH v2] rdma: Modify rdma_conn_param.rnr_retry to 7

During the sync process, we found that the
IB_WC_RNR_RETRY_EXC_ERR error always occurred, and then
the connection break. Then when the connection is restored,
this error occurs again, enter a loop.

When the IB_WC_RNR_RETRY_EXC_ERR error occurs,
it indicates that there is no rx_desc at the receive side currently.
Then we query that the current rnr_retry value is 0,
meane there is no retry.

So we modify rnr_retry to 7(max value), and the problem did not occur again.
