Improve uverbs_cleanup_ucontext algorithm to work properly when the topology graph of the objects cannot be determined at compile time. This is the case with objects created via the devx interface in mlx5. Typically uverbs objects must be created in a strict topologically sorted order, so that LIFO ordering will generally cause them to be freed properly. There are only a few cases (eg memory windows) where objects can point to things out of the strict LIFO order. Instead of using an explicit ordering scheme where the HW destroy is not allowed to fail, go over the list multiple times and allow the destroy function to fail. If progress halts then a final, desperate, cleanup is done before leaking the memory. This indicates a driver bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
