Subject: [PATCH 5.2 021/137] net/rds: Fix error handling in rds_ib_add_one()

From: Dotan Barak <dotanb@....mellanox.co.il>

[ Upstream commit d64bf89a75b65f83f06be9fb8f978e60d53752db ]

rds_ibdev:ipaddr_list and rds_ibdev:conn_list are initialized
after allocation some resources such as protection domain.
If allocation of such resources fail, then these uninitialized
variables are accessed in rds_ib_dev_free() in failure path. This
can potentially crash the system. The code has been updated to
initialize these variables very early in the function.
