If the rdma_create_qp fails to create qp due to device firmware being in invalid state

Adding proper checks for vaidating QP pointer avoids this to happen.

V0: Using IS_ERR() to check validity of qp pointer.
V1: Use of IS_ERR() will not be able to catch NULL QP pointers as rdma_create_qp() returnes NULL in case
     ib_create_qp verb is failed. Therefore, changed from usage of IS_ERR to null pointer check.
V2: ib_post_send() should not abort after DECR_CQCOUNT() checking for NULL pointer was causing exit from functions
     after decrementing CQCOUNT(). Fixed this in V2.
