    IB/umem: Fix possible hang on process exit · 24bce508
    Roland Dreier authored
    If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,
    then a process can get stuck in a D state, because the code boils down to
    
    	if (down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem))
    		down_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
    
    which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock.  Fix the code so that we
    only try to take the lock once.
    
    This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export
    ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules") which fortunately never
    made it into a release, and was reported by Pete Wyckoff <pw@osc.edu>.
