[PATCH 1/1] rdma: Fix cm leak

From: "zhengbing.huang" <zhengbing.huang at easystack.cn>

We found that when all the DRBD devices are down, the reference count
of the drbd_transport_rdma module is still 1.

[root at node-4 ~]# drbdadm status
No currently configured DRBD found.
[root at node-4 ~]# lsmod | grep drbd
drbd_transport_rdma   262144  1

Then, we found an unreleased cm structure and discover
that its state is DSB_CONNECT_REQ + DSB_ERROR.

crash> struct dtr_cm ffff57e515da9400
struct dtr_cm {
  kref = {
    refcount = {
      refs = {
        counter = 1
...
state = 9,
...
}

The scenario of this problem should be like this:
dtr_cma_event_handler() get an RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST event,
and call dtr_cma_accept() to alloc a cm. and set cm->state = DSM_CONNECT_REQ,
now the cm->kref count is 2.
then dtr_cma_event_handler() get xxx_CONNECT_ERROR/xxx_UNREACHABLE/xxx_REJECTED
event, and set_bit(DSB_ERROR, &cm->state).
the cm remove from path in dtr_cma_retry_connect, put one ref.
and cm->state dont has DSB_CONNECTING flag, then return 0.
Now, the cm->kref count is 1, and state is DSB_CONNECT_REQ + DSB_ERROR.

Therefore, when we test the DSB_CONNECTING flag,
we should also test the DSB_CONNECT_REQ flag to avoid cm leak.
