This is not the proper way to fix srpt_cm_req_recv(). The kthread_run() 
call must be moved from srpt_create_ch_ib() to after the session 
registration code in srpt_cm_req_recv(), and the session registration 
call + the kthread_run() call must be protected via a mutex against 
concurrent HCA hot-plug removal events (see also srpt_remove_one() and 
srpt_remove_sdev()).
