Avoid leaking a kref count in ib_umad_open() if port->ib_dev == NULL or if nonseekable_open() fails. Avoid leaking a kref count, that sm_sem is kept down and also that the IB_PORT_SM capability mask is not cleared in ib_umad_sm_open() if nonseekable_open() fails. Since container_of() never returns NULL, remove the code that tests whether container_of() returns NULL. Moving the kref_get() call from the start of ib_umad_*open() to the end is safe since it is the responsibility of the caller of these functions to ensure that the cdev pointer remains valid until at least when these functions return.
