Before this patch, the below race between\nmlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx and mlx5_cmd_exec_cb_handler was possible and\nlead to a use-after-free:\n\n1. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx is called while num_inflight is 2 (i.e.\n elevated by 1, a single inflight callback).\n2. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx decreases num_inflight to 1.\n3. mlx5_cmd_exec_cb_handler is called, decreases num_inflight to 0 and\n is about to call wake_up().\n4. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx calls wait_event, which returns\n immediately as the condition (num_inflight == 0) holds.\n5. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx returns.\n6. The caller of mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx frees the mlx5_async_ctx\n object.\n7. mlx5_cmd_exec_cb_handler goes on and calls wake_up() on the freed\n object.\n\nFix it by syncing using a completion object. Mark it completed when\nnum_inflight reaches 0.\n\nTrace:\n\nBUG: KASAN: use-after-free in do_raw_spin_lock+0x23d/0x270\nRead of size 4 at addr ffff888139cd12f4 by task swapper/5/0\n\nCPU: 5 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/5 Not tainted 6.0.0-rc3_for_upstream_debug_2022_08_30_13_10 #1\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\nCall Trace:\n \n dump_stack_lvl+0x57/0x7d\n print_report.cold+0x2d5/0x684\n ?
