[PATCH 1/1][T/B] infiniband: fix a possible use-after-free bug

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong at gmail.com>

ucma_process_join() will free the new allocated "mc" struct,
if there is any error after that, especially the copy_to_user().

But in parallel, ucma_leave_multicast() could find this "mc"
through idr_find() before ucma_process_join() frees it, since it
is already published.

So "mc" could be used in ucma_leave_multicast() after it is been
allocated and freed in ucma_process_join(), since we don't refcnt
it.

Fix this by separating "publish" from ID allocation, so that we
can get an ID first and publish it later after copy_to_user().
