cm_find_remote_id() reads the root of cm.remote_id_table before it
takes cm.lock. While it waits for the lock, cm_destroy_id() or
cm_reset_to_idle() on another CPU can remove that cm_timewait_info from
the tree and free it, and the lookup then starts from freed memory.
This lookup is done for a REJ with reason IB_CM_REJ_TIMEOUT.
Read the root after taking cm.lock.

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.
Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64, KASAN) on rdma_rxe over virtio-net, with a
test module that connects to a listener on the same device through
rdma_cm and destroys each active cm_id while it is in IB_CM_REQ_SENT,
so a REJ with IB_CM_REJ_TIMEOUT is sent. Another kthread destroys the
passive cm_ids. The window was widened for the test with an msleep(20)
between reading the root and taking cm.lock. Without this patch, KASAN
reported 46 to 48 slab-use-after-free reads in cm_work_handler() per
20 second run in three runs, on a cm_timewait_info allocated by
cm_create_timewait_info() and freed by cm_destroy_id() through
cm_reset_to_idle(). With it, there was no KASAN report in three runs.
