IB/qib: Fix QP locate/remove race

remove_qp() can execute concurrently with a qib_lookup_qpn() on
another CPU, which in of itself, is ok, given the RCU locking.

The issue is that remove_qp() NULLs out the qp->next field so that a
qib_lookup_qpn() might fail to find a qp if it occurs after the one
that is being deleted.  This is a momentary issue and subsequent
qib_lookup_qpn() calls would find the qp's since the search restarts
from the bucket head.  At scale, the issue might causes dropped
packets and unnecessary retransmissions.

The fix just deletes the qp->next NULL assignment to prevent the
remove_qp() from hiding qp's from qib_lookup_qpn().
