Moni Shoua a6bc3875f1 IB/mlx5: Protect against prefetch of invalid MR
When deferring a prefetch request we need to protect against MR or PD
being destroyed while the request is still enqueued.

The first step is to validate that PD owns the lkey that describes the MR
and that the MR that the lkey refers to is owned by that PD.

The second step is to dequeue all requests when MR is destroyed.

Since PD can't be destroyed while it owns MRs it is guaranteed that when a
worker wakes up the request it refers to is still valid.

Now, it is possible to refrain from taking a reference on the device since
it is assured to be present as pd.

While that, replace the dedicated ordered workqueue with the system
unbound workqueue to reuse an existing resource and improve
performance. This will also fix a bug of queueing to the wrong workqueue.

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.
