[PATCH net] net/smc: free stashed qentry before overwrite in REQ_ADD_LINK to ADD_LINK transition

When smc_llc_event_handler() transitions the local LLC flow from
SMC_LLC_FLOW_REQ_ADD_LINK to SMC_LLC_FLOW_ADD_LINK on arrival of an ADD_LINK
request, it calls smc_llc_flow_qentry_set() unconditionally:
if (lgr->llc_flow_lcl.type == SMC_LLC_FLOW_REQ_ADD_LINK) {
lgr->llc_flow_lcl.type = SMC_LLC_FLOW_ADD_LINK;
smc_llc_flow_qentry_set(&lgr->llc_flow_lcl, qentry);
...
}
A CONFIRM_LINK or ADD_LINK_CONT arriving while flow->type is
SMC_LLC_FLOW_REQ_ADD_LINK is stashed into flow->qentry via the
SMC_LLC_CONFIRM_LINK / SMC_LLC_ADD_LINK_CONT handler (which stores into
flow->qentry for any non-NONE flow type). When the subsequent ADD_LINK
arrives, the REQ_ADD_LINK branch overwrites flow->qentry with the new pointer
without first freeing the stashed allocation, leaking one kmalloc object.
The stashed entry has no consumer: smc_llc_wait() is only called from
llc_add_link_work, which is not yet scheduled while the flow type remains
REQ_ADD_LINK. No waiter is sleeping on llc_msg_waiter at this point.
It is safe to unconditionally free any stashed qentry before
the overwrite.
Call smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() before smc_llc_flow_qentry_set() in the
REQ_ADD_LINK branch. smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() already checks flow->qentry
before freeing, so the normal path where no entry is stashed is a no-op.
