ucma_create_uevent() dereferences event->param.ud.private_data
as a struct ucma_multicast for multicast events. However,
this pointer may refer to memory that has already been freed,
leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by avoiding dereferencing private_data for multicast
events and instead using ctx for uid and id, which has a
well-defined lifetime.
Tested by running the reproducer under KASAN with slub_debug
enabled for several hours with no crashes observed.
