Subject: [PATCH v2] IB/mthca: fix return value of error branch in mthca_init_cq()

We return 'err' in the error branch, but this variable may be set as
zero by the above code. Fix it by setting 'err'  as a negative value
before we goto the error label.

Fixes: 74c2174e7be5 ("IB uverbs: add mthca user CQ support")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
