Subject: [PATCH 4.9 16/17] IB/hfi1: Fix incorrect mixing of ERR_PTR and NULL return values

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

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

From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@...el.com>

commit b697d7d8c741f27b728a878fc55852b06d0f6f5e upstream.

The __get_txreq() function can return a pointer, ERR_PTR(-EBUSY), or NULL.
All of the relevant call sites look for IS_ERR, so the NULL return would
lead to a NULL pointer exception.

Do not use the ERR_PTR mechanism for this function.

Update all call sites to handle the return value correctly.

Clean up error paths to reflect return value.

Fixes: 45842abbb292 ("staging/rdma/hfi1: move txreq header code")
