Subject: IB/rdmavt: Correct qp_priv_alloc() return value test

From: Mike Marciniszyn <mike.marciniszyn@intel.com>

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.
