Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.12 11/63] net/smc: properly handle workqueue allocation failure

From: Anirudh Rayabharam <mail@...rudhrb.com>

[ Upstream commit bbeb18f27a44ce6adb00d2316968bc59dc640b9b ]

In smcd_alloc_dev(), if alloc_ordered_workqueue() fails, properly catch
it, clean up and return NULL to let the caller know there was a failure.
Move the call to alloc_ordered_workqueue higher in the function in order
to abort earlier without needing to unwind the call to device_initialize().
