RDMA/cma: Remove unneeded locking for req paths

Browse source

The REQ flows are concerned that once the handler is called on the new
cm_id the ULP can choose to trigger a rdma_destroy_id() concurrently at
any time.

However, this is not true, while the ULP can call rdma_destroy_id(), it
immediately blocks on the handler_mutex which prevents anything harmful
from running concurrently.

Remove the confusing extra locking and refcounts and make the
handler_mutex protecting state during destroy more clear.
