IPoIB: Fix race in deleting ipoib_neigh entries

In several places, this snippet is used when removing neigh entries:

	list_del(&neigh->list);
	ipoib_neigh_free(neigh);

The list_del() removes neigh from the associated struct ipoib_path, while
ipoib_neigh_free() removes neigh from the device's neigh entry lookup
table.  Both of these operations are protected by the priv->lock
spinlock.  The table however is also protected via RCU, and so naturally
the lock is not held when doing reads.

This leads to a race condition, in which a thread may successfully look
up a neigh entry that has already been deleted from neigh->list.  Since
the previous deletion will have marked the entry with poison, a second
list_del() on the object will cause a panic:

We move the list_del() into ipoib_neigh_free(), so that deletion happens
only once, after the entry has been successfully removed from the lookup
table.  This same behavior is already used in ipoib_del_neighs_by_gid()
and __ipoib_reap_neigh().
