[PATCH -stable] IB/ucm: Fix deadlock in cleanup

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@mellanox.co.il>]

ib_ucm_cleanup_events() holds file_mutex while calling ib_destroy_cm_id().
This can deadlock since ib_destroy_cm_id() flushes event handlers, and
ib_ucm_event_handler() needs file_mutex, too.  Therefore, drop the
file_mutex during the call to ib_destroy_cm_id().
