 drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows
 ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure after a cleanup
 step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial of
 service (use-after-free).

Clean cherry pick to Bionic and Trusty. Xenial has already been fixed thanks to
the fix coming in via linux-stable. I was unable to test the affected code due
to lack of necessary hardware. However, the build logs are clean and the fix is
easy to review.
