Subject: [PATCH 3.16 046/294] RDMA/ocrdma: Fix an error code in
 ocrdma_alloc_pd()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit dd75cfa6d3216c79c695f5af13e52208afe374ad upstream.

We should preserve the original "status" error code instead of resetting
it to zero.  Returning ERR_PTR(0) is the same as NULL and results in a
NULL dereference in the callers.  I added a printk() on error instead.
