RDMA/rxe: Fix incorrect rxe_put in error path
[ Upstream commit 8776618dbbd1b6f210b31509507e1aad461d6435 ]
In rxe_send() a ref is taken on the qp to keep it alive until the
kfree_skb() has a chance to call the skb destructor rxe_skb_tx_dtor()
which drops the reference. If the packet has an incorrect protocol the
error path just calls kfree_skb() which will call the destructor which
will drop the ref. Currently the driver also calls rxe_put() which is
incorrect. Additionally since the packets sent to rxe_send() are under the
control of the driver and it only ever produces IPV4 or IPV6 packets the
simplest fix is to remove all the code in this block.
