From: Huaping Zhou <zhp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> After smc_lgr_create(), the newly created link group is added to smc_lgr_list, thus is accessible from other context. Although link group creation is serialized by smc_create_lgr_pending, the new link group may still be accessed concurrently. For example, if ib_device is no longer active, smc_ib_port_event_work() will call smc_port_terminate(), which in turn will call __smc_lgr_terminate() on every link group of this device. So conns_lock is required here.
