IB/uverbs: Revise and clarify the rwsem and uobjects_lock
Rename 'cleanup_rwsem' to 'hw_destroy_rwsem' which is held across any call to the type destroy function (aka 'hw' destroy). The main purpose of this lock is to prevent normal add and destroy from running concurrently with uverbs_cleanup_ufile() Since the uobjects list is always manipulated under the 'hw_destroy_rwsem' we can eliminate the uobjects_lock in the cleanup function. This allows converting that lock to a very simple spinlock with a narrow critical section. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
