Subject: [PATCH 2.6.25] RDMA/IWCM: don't access the cm_id after dereferencing it.


RDMA/IWCM: don't access the cm_id after dereferencing it.

cm_work_handler() can access cm_id_priv after it was potentially freed
by iwch_deref_id().  The fix is to note whether IWCM_F_CALLBACK_DESTROY
is set before dereferencing.  Then if it was set, free the cm_id on
this thread.
