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.
