There is a deadlock in irdma_cleanup_cm_core(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| irdma_schedule_cm_timer()
irdma_cleanup_cm_core() | add_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | irdma_cm_timer_tick()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold cm_core->ht_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need cm_core->ht_lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, irdma_cleanup_cm_core() will block forever.
This patch removes the check of timer_pending(), because
the del_timer_sync() function will just return directly
if there isn't a pending lock. As a result, the lock is
redundant, because there is no resource it could protect.
