IB/uverbs: Fix NULL pointer dereference during device removal

From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>

As part of ib_uverbs_remove_one which might be triggered upon reset flow, we trigger IB_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL event to userspace application.
If device was removed after uverbs fd was opened but before ib_uverbs_get_context was called, the event file will be accessed before it was allocated, result in NULL pointer dereference:

Fix it by checking that user context was allocated before trigger the event.

Thanks, applied to -rc.

Are there any more -rc patches waiting in the works over there? As per my other email, I'm trying to process the -rc today...
