[PATCH net v2] rds: ib: use rds_conn_drop() on protocol version mismatch

From: Aohan Mei <redacted>

rds_ib_cm_connect_complete() runs from the RDMA-CM event handler with
conn->c_cm_lock held.  When the peer negotiates a protocol version
older than RDS_PROTOCOL_COMPAT_VERSION, the handler calls
rds_conn_destroy(), which is only safe in the rmmod path: it
synchronously tears the connection down and flush_work()es the
shutdown work cp_down_w.

That shutdown work (rds_conn_shutdown()) needs cp_cm_lock, which is
the very lock the event handler still holds, so the flush never
completes: the two workers wait on each other and the RDS connection
workqueues stall for good.

All other RDMA-CM failure paths (REJECTED, CONNECT_ERROR,
DISCONNECTED) use rds_conn_drop(), which marks the connection
RDS_CONN_ERROR and schedules the shutdown work asynchronously.  Use
it here as well.

v1 -> v2:
- Point Fixes at f147dd9ecabf, which introduced the rds_conn_destroy()
  call in the version check, instead of the later refactor cdc306a5c9cd
