Subject: [PATCH 4.16 103/196] RDMA/mlx5: Protect from NULL pointer derefence

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

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

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...lanox.com>

commit 4289861d88d6c7b5e4c8cc7fe2ad6cdf0cdfc366 upstream.

The mlx5_ib_alloc_implicit_mr() can fail to acquire pages
and the returned mr pointer won't be valid. Ensure that it
is not error prior to access.

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 4.10
Fixes: 81713d3788d2 ("IB/mlx5: Add implicit MR support")
