Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx4_core: Fix the error flow when probing with invalid VF configuration

Single ported VF are currently not supported on configurations where
one or both ports are IB. When we hit this case, the relevant flow in
the driver didn't return error and jumped to the wrong label. Fix that.

Fixes: dd41cc3 ('net/mlx4: Adapt num_vfs/probed_vf params for single port VF')
Reported-by: Shirley Ma <shirley.ma@...cle.com>

Dave, 

The bug was introduced in 3.15-rc1, can you please push the 
fix to -stable of 3.15.y?

Thanks,

Or.
