IB/mlx5: Fix how advise_mr() launches async work
Work must hold a kref on the ib_device otherwise the dev pointer can
become free before the work runs. This can happen because the work is
being pushed onto the system work queue which is not flushed during driver
unregister.
Remove the bogus use of 'reg_state':
- While in uverbs the reg_state is guaranteed to always be
REGISTERED
- Testing reg_state with no locking is bogus. Use ib_device_try_get()
to get back into a region that prevents unregistration.
For now continue with a flow that is similar to the existing code.
