drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb3/iwch_provider.c: uninitialized variable used

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

The Coverity checker spotted that "npages" will be used uninitialized in 
the following code if !(mr_rereg_mask & IB_MR_REREG_TRANS):

<--  snip  -->

Looking at the code, it also seems some orignally planned error handling 
code for the build_phys_page_list() call was forgotten ("ret" is never 
checked before it's overwritten again).
