Subject: [PATCH 4.18 008/235] net/mlx5: Check for error in mlx5_attach_interface

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

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

From: Huy Nguyen <huyn@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 47bc94b82291e007da61ee1b3d18c77871f3e158 ]

Currently, mlx5_attach_interface does not check for error
after calling intf->attach or intf->add. When these two calls
fails, the client is not initialized and will cause issues such as
kernel panic on invalid address in the teardown path (mlx5_detach_interface)

Fixes: 737a234bb638 ("net/mlx5: Introduce attach/detach to interface API")
