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.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a6ffe86390c8a6afc818
Fixes: c8f6a362bf3e ("RDMA/cma: Add multicast communication support")
