RDMA/cm: Make it clearer how concurrency works in cm_req_handler()



ib_crate_cm_id() immediately places the id in the xarray, and publishes it
into the remote_id and remote_qpn rbtrees. This makes it visible to other
threads before it is fully set up.

It appears the thinking here was that the states IB_CM_IDLE and
IB_CM_REQ_RCVD do not allow any MAD handler or lookup in the remote_id and
remote_qpn rbtrees to advance.

However, cm_rej_handler() does take an action on IB_CM_REQ_RCVD, which is
not really expected by the design.

Make the whole thing clearer:
 - Keep the new cm_id out of the xarray until it is completely set up.
   This directly prevents MAD handlers and all rbtree lookups from seeing
   the pointer.
 - Move all the trivial setup right to the top so it is obviously done
   before any concurrency begins
 - Move the mutation of the cm_id_priv out of cm_match_id() and into the
   caller so the state transition is obvious
 - Place the manipulation of the work_list at the end, under lock, after
   the cm_id is placed in the xarray. The work_count cannot change on an
   ID outside the xarray.
