This patch fixes commit -
commit 3ebd2fd0d011 ("IB/sa: Put netlink request into the request list before sending")'
Above commit adds the query to the request list before ib_nl_snd_msg.
However, if there is a delay in sending out the request (For
eg: Delay due to low memory situation) the timer to handle request timeout
might kick in before the request is sent out to ibacm via netlink.
ib_nl_request_timeout may release the query if it fails to send it to SA
as well causing a use after free situation.
Call Trace for the above race:

To resolve this issue, we introduce a new flag IB_SA_NL_QUERY_SENT.
This flag Indicates if the request has been sent out to ibacm yet.
If this flag is not set for a query and the query times out, we add it
back to the list with the original delay.
To handle the case where a response is received before we could set this
flag, the response handler waits for the flag to be
set before proceeding with the query.
