Subject: [PATCH net-next V1 6/9] net/mlx4_core: Fix checking order in MR table init

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

In procedure mlx4_init_mr_table(), slaves should do no processing,
but should return success. This initialization is hypervisor-only.

However, the check for num_mpts being a power-of-2 was performed
before the check to return immediately if the driver is for a slave.
This resulted in spurious failures.

The order of performing the checks is reversed, so that if the
driver is for a slave, no processing is done and success is returned.
