Subject: [PATCH 2.6 1/8] infiniband/hw/nes/nes_verbs.c: address dead code warning in nes_verbs.c

From: Chien Tung <ctung@...effect.com>

Adrian Bunk found some apparently dead code in nes_verbs.c
after a coverity review that really shouldn't have been dead.  

The function nes_create_cq() was missing the following assignment

	err = 1;

just prior to an iteration that conditionally set err = 0
if a PBL was found for a given virtual CQ.  Also noticed 
we should have been returning -EFAULT on a couple related
error paths.
