RDMA/cma: Fix device removal race
The race is as follows:
A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),
which sets id state to CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL and
calls wait_event(dev_remove).
B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,
and calls cma_acquire_ib_dev() and on failure
calls cma_release_remove(), which does a
wake_up of cma_process_remove(). Then
cma_req_handler() calls rdma_destroy_id();
A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the
state of id, and since it is still (wrongly)
CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL, it calls notify_user(id)
and if that fails, the caller - cma_process_remove()
calls rdma_destroy_id(id). Two processes can
call rdma_destroy_id(), resulting in one
de-referencing kfreed id_priv.
Fix is for process B to set CMA_DESTROYING in cma_req_handler()
so that process A will return instead of doing a rdma_destroy_id().
