IB/rxe: Move refcounting earlier in rxe_send()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The network stack will call nskb's destructor, rxe_skb_tx_dtor(), if the
packet gets dropped by ip_local_out()/ip6_local_out(). Thus we need to add
the QP ref before output to avoid extra dereferences during network
congestion. This could lead to unwanted destruction of the QP.

Fix up the skb_out accounting, too.
