From: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event. This change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by fails, causing path->ah to become NULL. A later successful path query will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference (contrary to the comment that claims this is safe).
Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path record query is successful. This prevents the neighbour AH and that path AH from getting out of sync.

One more patch for 2.6.27. This fixes a regression from 2.6.26 that causes a panic with IP-over-InfiniBand on some network events.
Please apply.
Thanks, Roland
