You will need to add some sort of "if qp tpye" for ib_create_qp_uverbs() callers,
because they always provide udata != NULL. 

After this series, the callers look like this:

 1438         qp = ib_create_qp_uverbs(device, pd, &attr, &attrs->driver_udata, obj);
                                                          ^^^^^^^^^ not NULL

So instead of bothering callers, I implemented it here with one "if".

Thanks
