[PATCH] RDMA/core: Fix swapped list_add_tail() arguments in ib_add_sub_device()

[lirongqing]

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

ib_add_sub_device() links a new sub-device into its parent's sub-device
list with:

	list_add_tail(&parent->subdev_list_head, &sub->subdev_list);

list_add_tail(new, head) expects the node to insert as the first
argument and the list head as the second, so the call above does the
opposite of what was intended: it treats the parent's list head as the
new node and the sub-device's node as the list head.

Because _ib_alloc_device() initialises subdev_list to a self-referencing
empty head, the misplaced insertion does not crash, but it corrupts the
parent->subdev_list_head list.  After adding two or more sub-devices,
only the last one is reachable through the parent's head, and
ib_del_sub_device_and_put()'s list_del() on &sub->subdev_list rewrites
the head pointers, potentially severing earlier sub-devices from the
chain.  During parent teardown, the reverse iteration over
subdev_list_head then skips the orphaned sub-devices, so their
del_sub_dev() callbacks are never invoked and ib_device_put() on the
parent is never paired, leaking both the HW sub-devices and a refcount.

Swap the arguments to match the documented intent: insert the
sub-device node into the parent's list head.
