Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 263/273] net/mlx4_core: Fix potential corruption in counters database

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@...lanox.com>

commit 6b94bab0ee8d5def6a2aac0ef6204ee6e24386b6 upstream.

The error flow in procedure handle_existing_counter() is wrong.

The procedure should exit after encountering the error, not continue
as if everything is OK.

Fixes: 68230242cdbc ('net/mlx4_core: Add port attribute when tracking counters')
