IPoIB: Fix crash due to skb double destruct
After commit b13912bbb4a2 ("IPoIB: Call skb_dst_drop() once skb is enqueued for sending"), using connected mode and running multithreaded iperf for long time, ie iperf -c <IP> -P 16 -t 3600 results in a crash. After the above-mentioned patch, the driver is calling skb_orphan() and skb_dst_drop() after calling post_send() in ipoib_cm.c::ipoib_cm_send() (also in ipoib_ib.c::ipoib_send()) The problem with this is, as is written in a comment in both routines, "it's entirely possible that the completion handler will run before we execute anything after the post_send()." This leads to running the skb cleanup routines simultaneously in two different contexts. The solution is to always perform the skb_orphan() and skb_dst_drop() before queueing the send work request. If an error occurs, then it will be no different than the regular case where dev_free_skb_any() in the completion path, which is assumed to be after these two routines.
