It should be
ib_create_qp　...
   -> rxe_create_qp
     -> rxe_qp_from_init
        -> rxe_get(pd) <<< pd's refcnt will be increased.

Not really, con[0]->has_dev is true, so con[0]'s cleanup will call rtrs_ib_dev_put()

Without this patch, when con[1] failed, con[1]'s cleanup will be called first. then call con[0]'s cleanup.
After this change, con[1]'s cleanup will not call rtrs_ib_dev_put, but it will be called the later con[0]'s cleanup.
