Looking at rdma_destroy_id(), I think it is invalid to call it from the event
handler:

void rdma_destroy_id(struct rdma_cm_id *id)
{

<snip>

        /*
         * Wait for any active callback to finish.  New callbacks will find
         * the id_priv state set to destroying and abort.
         */
        mutex_lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
        mutex_unlock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);

And indeed when I tried to destroy the CONNECT request cm_id in the nvmet event
handler, I see the event handler thread is stuck:

So I withdraw my comment about nvmet.  I think the code is fine as-is.  The 2nd
reject results in a no-op since the connection request was rejected by nvmet.
