Subject: [PATCH 4.8 048/140] IB/core: correctly handle rdma_rw_init_mrs() failure

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

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

From: Steve Wise <swise@...ngridcomputing.com>

commit b6bc1c731f0b985e91f618561fc82c6e252dfaf4 upstream.

Function ib_create_qp() was failing to return an error when
rdma_rw_init_mrs() fails, causing a crash further down in ib_create_qp()
when trying to dereferece the qp pointer which was actually a negative
errno.

The crash:
