Krishna Kumar 6e35aabee1 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().
