Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 147/156] IB/mlx5: avoid destroying a NULL mr in 
reg_user_mr error flow

3.19.8-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Haggai Eran <[email protected]>

commit 11d748045c6dadb279d1acdb6d2ea8f3f2ede85b upstream.

The mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() function will attempt to call clean_mr() in its error 
flow even though there is never a case where the error flow occurs with a valid 
MR pointer to destroy.

Remove the clean_mr() call and the incorrect comment above it.

Fixes: b4cfe447d47b ("IB/mlx5: Implement on demand paging by adding support for 
MMU notifiers")
