4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mike Marciniszyn <mike.marciniszyn@xxxxxxxxx>
commit c755f4afa66ad3ed98870bd3254f37c47fb2c800 upstream.
The current drivers return errors from this calldown
wrapped in an ERR_PTR().
The rdmavt code incorrectly tests for NULL.
The code is fixed to use IS_ERR() and change ret according
to the driver return value.
