IB/qib: Fix QP locate/remove race
remove_qp() can execute concurrently with a qib_lookup_qpn() on
another CPU, which in of itself, is ok, given the RCU locking.
The issue is that remove_qp() NULLs out the qp->next field so that a
qib_lookup_qpn() might fail to find a qp if it occurs after the one
that is being deleted. This is a momentary issue and subsequent
qib_lookup_qpn() calls would find the qp's since the search restarts
from the bucket head. At scale, the issue might causes dropped
packets and unnecessary retransmissions.
The fix just deletes the qp->next NULL assignment to prevent the
remove_qp() from hiding qp's from qib_lookup_qpn().
