Most of ULPs are OK, eg umad does:

	umad_dev = kzalloc(struct_size(umad_dev, ports, e - s + 1), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!umad_dev)
		return -ENOMEM;
	for (i = s; i <= e; ++i) {
		if (!rdma_cap_ib_mad(device, i))
			continue;

	if (!count) {
		ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
		goto free;
free:
	/* balances kref_init */
	ib_umad_dev_put(umad_dev);

It looks like only cm.c and cma.c need fixing, just fix those two.

The CM using ULPs have a different issue though..
