Yishai Hadas f591822c3c IB/mlx5: Fix implicit MR release flow
Once implicit MR is being called to be released by
ib_umem_notifier_release() its leaves were marked as "dying".

However, when dereg_mr()->mlx5_ib_free_implicit_mr()->mr_leaf_free() is
called, it skips running the mr_leaf_free_action (i.e. umem_odp->work)
when those leaves were marked as "dying".

As such ib_umem_release() for the leaves won't be called and their MRs
will be leaked as well.

When an application exits/killed without calling dereg_mr we might hit the
above flow.

This fatal scenario is reported by WARN_ON() upon
mlx5_ib_dealloc_ucontext() as ibcontext->per_mm_list is not empty, the
call trace can be seen below.

Originally the "dying" mark as part of ib_umem_notifier_release() was
introduced to prevent pagefault_mr() from returning a success response
once this happened. However, we already have today the completion
mechanism so no need for that in those flows any more.  Even in case a
success response will be returned the firmware will not find the pages and
an error will be returned in the following call as a released mm will
cause ib_umem_odp_map_dma_pages() to permanently fail mmget_not_zero().

Fix the above issue by dropping the "dying" from the above flows.  The
other flows that are using "dying" are still needed it for their
synchronization purposes.

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.
