Subject: [PATCH 4.14 121/183] IB/hfi1: Fix for potential refcount leak in hfi1_open_file()

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

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

From: Alex Estrin <alex.estrin@...el.com>


[ Upstream commit 2b1e7fe16124e86ee9242aeeee859c79a843e3a2 ]

The dd refcount is speculatively incremented prior to allocating
the fd memory with kzalloc(). If that kzalloc() failed the dd
refcount leaks.
Increment refcount on kzalloc success.

Fixes: e11ffbd57520 ("IB/hfi1: Do not free hfi1 cdev parent structure early")
