I don't think that's correct, not that it was before. cxgbi_sock_get(csk) does a
kref_get(&csk->refcnt), so this will at lease leak a kref. It will also "leak"
the atids_in_use in cxgb3_alloc_atid() as there's a call to cxgb3_free_atid()
missing. Looks like the complete cleanup path is worng here.

But I'd prefer having Karen or someone else at Chelsio confirm my assumptions.

Thanks,
Johannes
