It looks like this is deadlocking trying to take priv->lock in
ipoib_neigh_destructor().
One idea I just had would be to build a kernel with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING turned
on, and then rerun this test.  There's a good chance that this would
diagnose the
deadlock.  (I don't have good access to my test machines right now, or
else I would
do it myself)
