Hefty, Sean 186834b5de RDMA/ucma: Fix AB-BA deadlock
When we destroy a cm_id, we must purge associated events from the
event queue.  If the cm_id is for a listen request, we also purge
corresponding pending connect requests.  This requires destroying
the cm_id's associated with the connect requests by calling
rdma_destroy_id().  rdma_destroy_id() blocks until all outstanding
callbacks have completed.

The issue is that we hold file->mut while purging events from the
event queue.  We also acquire file->mut in our event handler.  Calling
rdma_destroy_id() while holding file->mut can lead to a deadlock,
since the event handler callback cannot acquire file->mut, which
prevents rdma_destroy_id() from completing.

Fix this by moving events to purge from the event queue to a temporary
list.  We can then release file->mut and call rdma_destroy_id()
outside of holding any locks.

Bug report by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>:

    [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
    3.3.0-rc5-00008-g79f1e43-dirty #34 Tainted: G          I

    tgtd/9018 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa0359a41>] rdma_destroy_id+0x33/0x1f0 [rdma_cm]

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&file->mut){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa02470fe>] ucma_free_ctx+0xb6/0x196 [rdma_ucm]

    which lock already depends on the new lock.


    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
