This will conflict with a fix (83a267021221 'RDMA/core: Fix
overwriting of uobj in case of error') that is going to go to -rc
soon.

Also the above misses returning an ERR_PTR if __anon_inode_getfd fails, it
returns a uobj that had been freed.. I suppose it should be something
like

if (new_fd < 0) {
   uverbs_uobject_put(uobj);
   return ERR_PTR(new_fd)
}

?
