No need for this atomic, hold the lock

The use of the atomic looks racy:

Might race with this:

Resulting in use-after-free of cm_id_priv->sharecount

Don't try and be clever with atomics, it is almost always wrong.

The share count should be 'listen_sharecount' because it *only* works
for listen.

The above test in cm_destroy_id should only be in the listen branch of
the if.

.. Callers should call cm_destroy_id when done with the listen ..
