4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mike Marciniszyn <[email protected]> commit c755f4afa66ad3ed98870bd3254f37c47fb2c800 upstream. The current drivers return errors from this calldown wrapped in an ERR_PTR(). The rdmavt code incorrectly tests for NULL. The code is fixed to use IS_ERR() and change ret according to the driver return value.
