Shouldn't, the mkey has no connection to the umem other than the umem
was used as the source of DMA addresses to put in the mkey.

Previously it was ordered the way it was because thr mr->umem pointer
would get overwritten as soon as the mr was put in the cache, but now
that the mr is just freed that isn't a problem.
