Subject: IB/hfi1: Protect the global dev_cntr_names and port_cntr_names
From: Tadeusz Struk <tadeusz.struk@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 62eed66e98b4c2286fef2ce5911d8d75b7515f7b upstream.
Protect the global dev_cntr_names and port_cntr_names with the global
mutex as they are allocated and freed in a function called per device.
Otherwise there is a danger of double free and memory leaks.
Fixes: Commit b7481944b06e ("IB/hfi1: Show statistics counters under IB stats interface")
