Jason Gunthorpe 3df593bfe6 IB/uverbs: Get rid of null_obj_type
If the method fails after calling rdma_explicit_destroy (eg if
copy_to_user faults) then it will trigger a kernel oops:

This is because the type was replaced with the null_type during explicit
destroy that cannot complete the destruction.

One of the side effects of replacing the type is to make the object
handle totally unreachable - so no other command could attempt to use
it, even though it remains on the uboject list.

We can get the same end result by just fully destroying the object inside
rdma_explicit_destroy and leaving the caller the residual kref for the
uobj with no attached HW object, and no presence in the ubojects list.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
