Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cxgb4: smt: Add lock for atomic_dec_and_test

The atomic_dec_and_test() is not safe because it is
outside of locks.
Move the locks of t4_smte_free() to its caller,
cxgb4_smt_release() to protect the atomic decrement.

Fixes: 3bdb376e6944 ("cxgb4: introduce SMT ops to prepare for SMAC rewrite support")
