This series refactors the usage of FDs in both IB core and mlx5 driver. It includes: - Simplify destruction of FD uobjects by making them pure uobjects and use a generic release method for all struct file operations. - Make ib_uverbs_async_event_file into a uobject. - Improve locking in few related areas. - Simplify type usage for ib_uverbs_async_handler(). This refactoring series may be followed by some other series that will allow the async FD to be allocated separately from the context and then enables having the alloc_context command over ioctl.
