[PATCH v2] IB/mlx5: avoid bogus -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

We get a false-positive warning in linux-next for the mlx5 driver:

infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c: In function âmlx5_ib_reg_user_mrâ:
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1172:5: error: âorderâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1161:6: note: âorderâ was declared here
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1173:6: error: âncontâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1160:6: note: âncontâ was declared here
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1173:6: error: âpage_shiftâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1158:6: note: âpage_shiftâ was declared here
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1143:13: error: ânpagesâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1159:6: note: ânpagesâ was declared here

I had a trivial workaround for gcc-5 or higher, but that didn't work
on gcc-4.9 unfortunately.

The only way I found to avoid the warnings for gcc-4.9, short of
initializing each of the arguments first was to change the calling
conventions to separate the error code from the umem pointer. This
avoids casting the error codes from one pointer to another incompatible
pointer, and lets gcc figure out when that the data is actually valid
whenever we return successfully.
