[PATCH v2] RDMA/siw: Clear association under lock if siw_qp_modify fails in siw_accept

From: Guoqing Jiang <hidden>

We need to clear cep before release state_lock as siw_qp_llp_close and
siw_qp_modify->siw_qp_llp_close did.

Otherwise if siw_qp_modify() fails in siw_accept(), the QP's state_lock
is released before the error path cleanup. A concurrent ibv_modify_qp()
transitioning the QP to ERROR can race in this window:

  siw_accept()                       ibv_modify_qp(ERROR)
  ----------------------             ----------------------
  siw_qp_modify() fails
  up_write(&qp->state_lock)
                                     down_write(&qp->state_lock)
                                     nextstate_from_idle():
				     if (qp->cep)
                                       siw_cep_put(qp->cep) <- frees cep
                                       qp->cep = NULL
  goto error
    cep->qp = NULL                   <- UAF

Clear qp->cep and drop the association reference taken by siw_cep_get(),
all under the write lock held from the initial down_write(&qp->state_lock).
Thread B therefore sees qp->cep == NULL, skips its own put, and cannot free
the cep before siw_accept() is done with it.
