Subject: [PATCH net 3/6] net/mlx4_core: Fix potential corruption in counters database

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@...lanox.com>

The error flow in procedure handle_existing_counter() is wrong.

The procedure should exit after encountering the error, not continue
as if everything is OK.

Fixes: 68230242cdbc ('net/mlx4_core: Add port attribute when tracking counters')
