The dealloc_work_entries() function must update the
work_free_list pointer while freeing its entries, since
potentially called again on same list. A second iteration
of the work list caused system crash. This happens, if
work allocation fails during cma_iw_listen() and
free_cm_id() tries to free the list again during cleanup.

It would be nice if someone were to fix the use of the list macros in
this file to use the _entry_ versions
