Parav Pandit cf7ad30302 IB/umad: Avoid destroying device while it is accessed
ib_umad_reg_agent2() and ib_umad_reg_agent() access the device name in
dev_notice(), while concurrently, ib_umad_kill_port() can destroy the
device using device_destroy().

        cpu-0                               cpu-1
        -----                               -----
    ib_umad_ioctl()
        [...]                            ib_umad_kill_port()
                                              device_destroy(dev)

        ib_umad_reg_agent()
            dev_notice(dev)

Therefore, first mark ib_dev as NULL, to block any further access in file
ops, unregister the mad agent and destroy the device at the end after
mutex is unlocked.

This ensures that device doesn't get destroyed, while it may get accessed.

README

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.
