[PATCH rdma-next 1/5] IB/umad: Fix use of unprotected device pointer

The ib_write_umad() is protected by taking the umad file mutex.
However, it accesses file->port->ib_dev -- which is protected only by the
port's mutex (field file_mutex).

The ib_umad_remove_one() calls ib_umad_kill_port() which sets
port->ib_dev to NULL under the port mutex (NOT the file mutex).
It then sets the mad agent to "dead" under the umad file mutex.

This is a race condition -- because there is a window where
port->ib_dev is NULL, while the agent is not "dead".

As a result, we saw stack traces like:

In the above trace, ib_umad_write is trying to dereference the NULL
file->port->ib_dev pointer.

Fix this by using the agent's device pointer (the device field
in struct ib_mad_agent) -- which IS protected by the umad file mutex.
