ipoib_stop() calls ipoib_ib_dev_down() which calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush()
which calls ipoib_mcast_free(), which calls ipoib_mcast_leave(). The latter
calls ib_sa_free_multicast(), and this wait until the multicast completion handler finishes. This happens to be ipoib_mcast_join_complete(), which
waits for the rtnl_lock(), whcih was already taken by ipoib_stop().

I have to admit the deadlock isn't obvious to
me... ipoib_mcast_join_complete() runs in the ib_mad1 thread, so I'm not
sure how that thread is getting flushed.  Can you reproduce this
deadlock with lockdep enabled and get the output from that?
