Subject: [PATCH 3.16 218/305] IB/mlx4: Fix memory leak if QP creation failed

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dotan Barak <dotanb@....mellanox.co.il>

commit 5b420d9cf7382c6e1512e96e02d18842d272049c upstream.

When RC, UC, or RAW QPs are created, a qp object is allocated (kzalloc).
If at a later point (in procedure create_qp_common) the qp creation fails,
this qp object must be freed.

Fixes: 1ffeb2eb8be99 ("IB/mlx4: SR-IOV IB context objects and proxy/tunnel SQP support")
