IB/hfi1: Resolve kernel panics by reference counting receive contexts
Base receive contexts can be used by sub contexts. Because of this, resources for the context cannot be completely freed until all sub contexts are done using the base context. Introduce a reference count so that the base receive context can be freed only when all sub contexts are done with it. Use the provided function call for setting default send context integrity rather than the manual method. The cleanup path does not set all variables back to NULL after freeing resources. Since the clean up code can get called more than once, (e.g. during context close and on the error path), it is necessary to make sure that all the variables are NULLed. Possible crash are: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000001908900 IP: read_csr+0x24/0x30 [hfi1] RIP: 0010:read_csr+0x24/0x30 [hfi1] Call Trace: sc_disable+0x40/0x110 [hfi1] hfi1_file_close+0x16f/0x360 [hfi1] __fput+0xe7/0x210 ____fput+0xe/0x10 or kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3877!
