Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 165/183] IB/core: Fix deadlock on uverbs modify_qp error flow

3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Moshe Lazer <moshel@...lanox.com>

commit 0fb8bcf022f19a375d7c4bd79ac513da8ae6d78b upstream.

The deadlock occurs in __uverbs_modify_qp: we take a lock (idr_read_qp)
and in case of failure in ib_resolve_eth_l2_attrs we don't release
it (put_qp_read).  Fix that.

Fixes: ed4c54e5b4ba ("IB/core: Resolve Ethernet L2 addresses when modifying QP")
