lockdep reports:

   WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

   modprobe/302 is trying to acquire lock:
   0000000007c8919c ((wq_completion)ib_cm){+.+.}, at: flush_workqueue+0xdf/0x990

   but task is already holding lock:
   000000002d3d2ca9 (&device->client_data_rwsem){++++}, at: remove_client_context+0x79/0xd0 [ib_core]

   which lock already depends on the new lock.

   the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

          do_syscall_64+0xc3/0x6a4
          entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

Which is due to the read side of the client_data_rwsem being obtained
recursively through a work queue flush during cm client removal.

The lock is being held across the remove in remove_client_context() so
that the function is a fence, once it returns the client is removed. This
is required so that the two callers do not proceed with destruction until
the client completes removal.

Instead of using client_data_rwsem use the existing device unregistration
refcount and add a similar client unregistration (client->uses) refcount.

This will fence the two unregistration paths without holding any locks.
