Bart Van Assche b66f31efbd RDMA/iwcm: Fix a lock inversion issue
This patch fixes the lock inversion complaint:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.3.0-rc7-dbg+ #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
kworker/u16:6/171 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000035c6e6c (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.}, at: rdma_destroy_id+0x78/0x4a0 [rdma_cm]

but task is already holding lock:
00000000bc7c307d (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.}, at: iw_conn_req_handler+0x151/0x680 [rdma_cm]

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
  lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

3 locks held by kworker/u16:6/171:
 #0: 00000000e2eaa773 ((wq_completion)iw_cm_wq){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x472/0xac0
 #1: 000000001efd357b ((work_completion)(&work->work)#3){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x476/0xac0
 #2: 00000000bc7c307d (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.}, at: iw_conn_req_handler+0x151/0x680 [rdma_cm]

This is not a bug as there are actually two lock classes here.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
