There's another unlock/lock pair around ib_sa_join_multicast() call in
ipoib_mcast_join() no matter the outcome of the condition. The
ib_sa_join_multicast() cannot be called with the lock being held due
to GFP_KERNEL allocation can possibly sleep. That's what's causing the
issue.

Actually if you check the code, only if the mentioned condition is
false (and the loop is not broken and returned from
ipoib_mcast_join_task()) the lock is released and re-acquired,
creating the window for
ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light()/ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() to break the list.
The vmcore data shows/confirms that clearly.
