Subject: [PATCH 3.2 012/147] cxgb4: Fix error codes in c4iw_create_cq()

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

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

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

commit 6ebedacbb44602d4dec3348dee5ec31dd9b09521 upstream.

If one of these kmalloc() calls fails then we return ERR_PTR(0) which is
NULL.  It results in a NULL dereference in the callers.

Fixes: cfdda9d76436 ("RDMA/cxgb4: Add driver for Chelsio T4 RNIC")
