Subject: [PATCH 5.6 41/41] Revert "net/mlx5: Annotate mutex destroy for root ns"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit 9b035b08e7e5fe7b2e75636324edf41ee30c5f94 which is
commit 9ca415399dae133b00273a4283ef31d003a6818d upstream.

It was backported incorrectly, Paul writes at:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200607203425.GD23662@windriver.com

	I happened to notice this commit:

	9ca415399dae - "net/mlx5: Annotate mutex destroy for root ns"

	...was backported to 4.19 and 5.4 and v5.6 in linux-stable.

	It patches del_sw_root_ns() - which only exists after v5.7-rc7 from:

	6eb7a268a99b - "net/mlx5: Don't maintain a case of del_sw_func being
	null"

	which creates the one line del_sw_root_ns stub function around
	kfree(node) by breaking it out of tree_put_node().

	In the absense of del_sw_root_ns - the backport finds an identical one
	line kfree stub fcn - named del_sw_prio from this earlier commit:

	139ed6c6c46a - "net/mlx5: Fix steering memory leak"  [in v4.15-rc5]

	and then puts the mutex_destroy() into that (wrong) function, instead of
	putting it into tree_put_node where the root ns case used to be hand
