FD uobjects have a weird split between the struct file and uobject world. Simplify this to make them pure uobjects and use a generic release method for all struct file operations. This fixes the control flow so that mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx() is always called before erasing the linked list contents to make the concurrancy simpler to understand. For this to work the uobject destruction must fence anything that it is cleaning up - the design must not rely on struct file lifetime. Only deliver_event() relies on the struct file to when adding new events to the queue, add a is_destroyed check under lock to block it.

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.
