[PATCH] infiniband: fix a subtle race condition

[Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>]

In ucma_event_handler() we lock the mutex like this:

mutex_lock(&ctx->file->mut);
...
mutex_unlock(&ctx->file->mut);

which seems correct, but we could translate it into this:

f = ctx->file;
mutex_lock(&f->mut);
...
f = ctx->file;
mutex_unlock(&f->mut);

as the compiler does. And, because ucma_event_handler() is
called in a workqueue so it could race with ucma_migrate_id(),
so the following race condition could happen:

CPU0			CPU1
f = ctx->file;
			ucma_lock_files(f, new_file);
			ctx->file = new_file
			ucma_lock_files(f, new_file);
mutex_lock(&f->mut); // still the old file!
...
f = ctx->file; // now the new one!!
mutex_unlock(&f->mut); // unlock new file!

Fix this by reading ctx->file once before mutex_lock(), so we
won't unlock a different mutex any more.
