In rxe_comp_queue_pkt() an incoming response packet skb is enqueued
to the resp_pkts queue and then a decision is made whether to run the
completer task inline or schedule it. Finally the skb is dereferenced
to bump a 'hw' performance counter. This is wrong because if the
completer task is already running in a separate thread it may have
already processed the skb and freed it which can cause a seg fault.
This has been observed infrequently in testing at high scale.
This patch fixes this by changing the order of enqueuing the packet
until after the counter is accessed.
