[lustre-devel] [PATCH v2] staging: lustre: Fix avoid intensive reconnecting for ko2iblnd patch

[Dmitry Eremin]

From: Dmitry Eremin <Dmitry.Eremin at intel.com>

The logic of the original commit 4d99b2581eff ("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.

After attached patch this code will use struct kib_conn only when it was not freed.
