No need for this atomic, hold the lock

The use of the atomic looks racy:

Might race with this:

Resulting in use-after-free of cm_id_priv->sharecount
Actually, there is something else odd here.. I mentioned the above
because there wasn't obvious ref'ing on the cm_id_priv. Looking closer
the cm.lock should prevent use-after-free, but there is still no ref.

The more I look at this, the more I think it is sketchy. Don't try and
merge sharecount and refcount together, after cm_find_listen is called
you have to increment the refcount before dropping cm.lock.

Decrement the refcount when destroying a shared listen.

I also don't see how the 'goto new_id' can work, if cm_find_listen
succeeds then __ib_cm_listen is guarenteed to fail.

Fix the locking to make that impossible, associate sharecount with the
cm.lock and, rework how cm_destroy_id grabs the cm_id_priv->lock spinlock:

	case IB_CM_LISTEN:
		spin_lock_irq(&cm.lock);
		if (cm_id_priv->sharecount != 0) {
		     cm_id_prv->sharecount--;
		     // paired with in in ib_cm_id_create_and_listen
		     atomic_dec(&cm_id_priv->refcount);
		     spin_unlock_irq(&cm.lock);
		     return;
		}
		rb_erase(&cm_id_priv->service_node, &cm.listen_service_table);
		spin_unlock_irq(&cm.lock);
	
		spin_lock_irq(&cm_id_priv->lock);
		cm_id->state = IB_CM_IDLE;
		spin_unlock_irq(&cm_id_priv->lock);
		break;

Now that condition is eliminated, the unneeded atomic is gone, and
refcount still acts like a proper kref should.
