The abort_work is scheduled when a connection was detected to be out-of-sync after a link failure. The work calls smc_conn_kill(), which calls smc_close_active_abort() and that might end up calling smc_close_cancel_work(). smc_close_cancel_work() cancels any pending close_work and tx_work but needs to release the sock_lock before and acquires the sock_lock again afterwards. So when the sock_lock was NOT acquired before then it may be held after the abort_work completes. Thats why the sock_lock is acquired before the call to smc_conn_kill() in __smc_lgr_terminate(), but this is missing in smc_conn_abort_work(). Fix that by acquiring the sock_lock first and release it after the call to smc_conn_kill().
