IB/mad: Fix lock-lock-timer deadlock in RMPP code

Holding agent->lock across cancel_delayed_work() (which does
del_timer_sync()) in ib_cancel_rmpp_recvs() leads to lockdep reports of
possible lock-timer deadlocks if a consumer ever does something that
connects agent->lock to a lock taken in IRQ context (cf
http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=125243699026045).

Fix this by changing the list items to a new state "CANCELING" while
holding the lock, and then canceling the delayed work without holding
the lock.  If the delayed work runs after the lock is dropped, it will
see the state is CANCELING and return immediately, so the list will
stay stable while we traverse it with the lock not held.
