This is a fine cleanup, but this does not describe the bug properly,
or have the right fixes line..

The issue is here:

static struct rdma_counter *alloc_and_bind(struct ib_device *dev, u32 port,
					   struct ib_qp *qp,
					   enum rdma_nl_counter_mode mode)
{
	counter->stats = dev->ops.counter_alloc_stats(counter);
	if (!counter->stats)
		goto err_stats;

Which does not init counter->stat's mutex.

And trim the oops reports, don't include the usless ? fns, timestamps
or other junk.
