Subject: [PATCH 5.9 49/74] net/smc: fix invalid return code in smcd_new_buf_create()

From: Karsten Graul <kgraul@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 6b1bbf94ab369d97ed3bdaa561521a52c27ef619 ]

smc_ism_register_dmb() returns error codes set by the ISM driver which
are not guaranteed to be negative or in the errno range. Such values
would not be handled by ERR_PTR() and finally the return code will be
used as a memory address.
Fix that by using a valid negative errno value with ERR_PTR().
