I'm ok with this as an intermediate patch but going forward if we are going to
have calls like 

static inline int cap_ib_cm_dev(struct ib_device *device)

Then I think we should have similar calls like

cap_ib_mad_dev(device)

Which eliminates the clean up below...

Here.

I worry about mistakes being made when we loop through only to find that none
of the ports support the feature and then we have to clean up.  As this is
initialization code I don't see any issue with looping through the ports 2
times and making the code cleaner.

This applies to the SA and CM modules as well.

However, in the ib_cm module you already have cap_ib_cm_dev(device) so you
should use it at the start of cm_add_one.
