Subject: staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct kib_conn

From: Dmitry Eremin <[email protected]>

commit 9b046013e5837f8a58453d1e9f8e01d03adb7fe7 upstream.

The logic of the original commit 4d99b2581eff ("staging: lustre: avoid intensive reconnecting for ko2iblnd") was assumed conditional free of struct kib_conn if the second argument free_conn in function kiblnd_destroy_conn(struct kib_conn *conn, bool free_conn) is true. But this hunk of code was dropped from original commit. As result the logic works wrong and current code use struct kib_conn after free.

To avoid confusion this fix moved the freeing a struct kib_conn outside of the function kiblnd_destroy_conn() and free as it was intended in original commit.
