From: Karsten Graul <kgr...@linux.ibm.com> [ Upstream commit 6b1bbf94ab369d97ed3bdaa561521a52c27ef619 ]
smc_ism_register_dmb() returns error codes set by the ISM driver which are not guaranteed to be negative or in the errno range. Such values would not be handled by ERR_PTR() and finally the return code will be used as a memory address. Fix that by using a valid negative errno value with ERR_PTR().
