Dmitry Eremin 7a4b5ee973 staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct kib_conn
commit 9b046013e5 upstream.

The logic of the original commit 4d99b2581e ("staging: lustre: avoid
intensive reconnecting for ko2iblnd") was assumed conditional free of
struct kib_conn if the second argument free_conn in function
kiblnd_destroy_conn(struct kib_conn *conn, bool free_conn) is true.
But this hunk of code was dropped from original commit. As result the logic
works wrong and current code use struct kib_conn after free.

To avoid confusion this fix moved the freeing a struct kib_conn outside of
the function kiblnd_destroy_conn() and free as it was intended in original
commit.

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
