To prevent a hardware memory leak when a DEVX DCT object is destroyed
without calling DRAIN DCT before, (e.g. under cleanup flow), need to
manage its creation and destruction via mlx5 core.
In that case the DRAIN DCT command will be called and only once that it
will be completed the DESTROY DCT command will be called. Otherwise, the
DESTROY DCT may fail and a hardware leak may occur.
As of that change the DRAIN DCT command should not be exposed any more
from DEVX, it's managed internally by the driver to work as expected by
the device specification.

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.
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.
