If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Haggai Eran <haggaie@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 11d748045c6dadb279d1acdb6d2ea8f3f2ede85b upstream. The mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() function will attempt to call clean_mr() in its error flow even though there is never a case where the error flow occurs with a valid MR pointer to destroy. Remove the clean_mr() call and the incorrect comment above it.
