Subject: CVE-2023-52851: IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF

In the unlikely event that workqueue allocation fails and returns NULL in
mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), delete the call to
mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (which frees the QP) in
mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init().  This will avoid attempted double
free of the same QP when __mlx5_ib_add() does its cleanup.

Resolves a splat:

   Syzkaller reported a UAF in ib_destroy_qp_user

   workqueue: Failed to create a rescuer kthread for wq "mkey_cache": -EINTR
   infiniband mlx5_0: mlx5_mkey_cache_init:981:(pid 1642):
   failed to create work queue
   infiniband mlx5_0: mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init:4075:(pid 1642):
   mr cache init failed -12

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
