Sean Hefty fc0856c3a3 IB/cm: Rework sending DREQ when destroying a cm_id
A DREQ is sent in 2 situations:

  1. When requested by the user.
     This DREQ has to wait for a DREP, which will be routed to the user.

  2. When the cm_id is destroyed.
     This DREQ is generated by the CM to notify the peer that the
     connection has been destroyed.

In the latter case, any DREP that is received will be discarded.
There's no need to hold a reference on the cm_id.  Today, both
situations are covered by the same function: cm_send_dreq_locked().
When invoked in the cm_id destroy path, the cm_id reference would be
held until the DREQ completes, blocking the destruction.  Because it
could take several seconds to minutes before the DREQ receives a DREP,
the destroy call posts a send for the DREQ then immediately cancels the
MAD.  However, cancellation is not immediate in the MAD layer.  There
could still be a delay before the MAD layer returns the DREQ to the CM.
Moreover, the only guarantee is that the DREQ will be sent at most once.

Introduce a separate flow for sending a DREQ when destroying the cm_id.
The new flow will not hold a reference on the cm_id, allowing it to be
cleaned up immediately.  The cancellation trick is no longer needed.
The MAD layer will send the DREQ exactly once.

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 reStructuredText 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.
