[PATCH] RDMA/rxe: fix null deref on srq->rq.queue after resize failure

A NULL pointer dereference can occur in rxe_srq_chk_attr() when
ibv_modify_srq() is invoked twice in succession under certain error
conditions. The first call may fail in rxe_queue_resize(), which leads
rxe_srq_from_attr() to set srq->rq.queue = NULL. The second call then
triggers a crash (null deref) when accessing
srq->rq.queue->buf->index_mask.

Call Trace:

Fix by aligning the error handling path in rxe_srq_from_attr() with
rxe_cq_resize_queue(), which also uses rxe_queue_resize(): do not
nullify the queue when resize fails.
