Given that the original test that was replaced was:
	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(cq->umem))

we aren't really worried about a null cq, just that umem is valid.  So,
the logic is inverted on the test (or possibly we shouldn't have
replaced !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(cq->umem) at all).

But on closer inspection, the bnxt_re specific portion of this patch
appears to have another problem in that it no longer checks the result
of bnxt_qplib_destroy_cq() yet it does nothing to keep that function
from failing.

Leon, can you send a followup fix?
