[PATCH RDMA V2 1/1] RDMA/rxe: Fix null deref on srq->rq.queue after resize failure

[Zhu Yanjun]

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:
