net/smc: fix UAF on lgr list traversal in smcr_port_err()
smcr_port_err() traverses smc_lgr_list.list without holding
smc_lgr_list.lock, allowing a concurrent smc_lgr_terminate_sched()
to free an lgr while it is still being dereferenced.
Hold smc_lgr_list.lock across the traversal. Update
smc_ib_gid_check() to call smcr_port_err() after releasing the lock.
