Does this happen without your other changes?
Can you give me instructions to repeat it and also say which
cards you wereusing?

I'm worried whether this change could break stuff:
The docs say for rdma_disconnect that it flushes any posted work
requests to the completion queue;  so unless we wait for the event
do we know the stuff has been flushed?   In the normal non-cancel case
I'm worried that means we could lose something.
(But I don't know the rdma/infiniband specs well enough to know if it's
really a problem).
