Prefetch work in mlx5_ib_prefetch_mr_work can be queued and able to run
concurrently with destruction of the implicit MR. The num_deferred_work
was intended to serialize this, but there is a race:

       CPU0                                          CPU1

    mlx5_ib_free_implicit_mr()
      xa_erase(odp_mkeys)
      synchronize_srcu()
      __xa_erase(implicit_children)
                                      mlx5_ib_prefetch_mr_work()
                                        pagefault_mr()
                                         pagefault_implicit_mr()
                                          implicit_get_child_mr()
                                           xa_cmpxchg()
                                        atomic_dec_and_test(num_deferred_mr)
      wait_event(imr->q_deferred_work)
      ib_umem_odp_release(odp_imr)
        kfree(odp_imr)

At this point in mlx5_ib_free_implicit_mr() the implicit_children list is
supposed to be empty forever so that destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr()
and related are not and will not be running.

Since it is not empty the destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr() flow ends up
touching deallocated memory as mlx5_ib_free_implicit_mr() already tore down the
imr parent.

The solution is to flush out the prefetch wq by driving num_deferred_work
to zero after creation of new prefetch work is blocked.
