Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 341/371] RDMA/mlx5: Return proper error value

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

[ Upstream commit 546d30099ed204792083f043cd7e016de86016a3 ]

Returned value from mlx5_mr_cache_alloc() is checked to be error or real
pointer. Return proper error code instead of NULL which is not checked
later.

Fixes: 81713d3788d2 ("IB/mlx5: Add implicit MR support")
