This should probably use the unwind code at the end to be consistent.

Looks like the rvt_free_rq and free_ud_wq_attr have gotten out of order 
and shouldn't be tied together, so that needs fixed up too.

I'd need to study the git log a little more to see what happened but I 
think d310c4bf8aea ("IB/{rdmavt, hfi1, qib}: Remove AH refcount for UD 
QPs") just missed this.
