RDMA/irdma: Fix deadlock in irdma_cleanup_cm_core()
There is a deadlock in irdma_cleanup_cm_core(), which is shown below:
   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | irdma_schedule_cm_timer()
irdma_cleanup_cm_core()    |  add_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | irdma_cm_timer_tick()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...
We hold cm_core->ht_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need
cm_core->ht_lock in position (2) of thread 2.  As a result,
irdma_cleanup_cm_core() will block forever.
This patch removes the check of timer_pending() in
irdma_cleanup_cm_core(), because the del_timer_sync() function will just
return directly if there isn't a pending timer. As a result, the lock is
redundant, because there is no resource it could protect.
