I took this to for-rc, but when I fixed the XRCD conflict with Leon's
patch I ended up retyping it to this - don't really need all rambly
boilerplate. Someone should fix the other one too..

static bool res_is_user(struct rdma_restrack_entry *res)
{
	switch (res->type) {
	case RDMA_RESTRACK_PD:
		return container_of(res, struct ib_pd, res)->uobject;
	case RDMA_RESTRACK_CQ:
		return container_of(res, struct ib_cq, res)->uobject;
	case RDMA_RESTRACK_QP:
		return container_of(res, struct ib_qp, res)->uobject;
	default:
		WARN_ONCE(true, "Wrong resource tracking type %u\n", res->type);
		return false;
	}
}
