IB/sa_query: Fix AH leak due to update_sm_ah() race
Our testing uncovered a race condition in ib_sa_event():
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->ah_lock, flags);
if (port->sm_ah)
kref_put(&port->sm_ah->ref, free_sm_ah);
port->sm_ah = NULL;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->ah_lock, flags);
schedule_work(&sa_dev->port[event->element.port_num -
sa_dev->start_port].update_task);
If two events occur back-to-back (e.g., client-reregister and LID
change), both may pass the spinlock-protected code above before the
scheduled work updates the port->sm_ah handle. Then if the scheduled
work ends up running twice, the second operation will then find a
non-NULL port->sm_ah, and will simply overwrite it in update_sm_ah --
resulting in an AH leak.
