[PATCH 1/3] iw_cm: free cm_id resources on the last deref

[Steve Wise]

Remove the complicated logic to free the cm_id resources in iw_cm event
handlers vs when an application thread destroys the device.  I'm not sure
why this code was written, but simply allowing the last deref to free
the memory is cleaner.  It also prevents a deadlock when applications
try to destroy cm_id's in their cm event handler function.
