[PATCH 4.2 126/134] IB/mlx5: avoid destroying a NULL mr in reg_user_mr error flow

From: Haggai Eran <haggaie@mellanox.com>

commit 11d748045c6dadb279d1acdb6d2ea8f3f2ede85b upstream.

The mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() function will attempt to call clean_mr() in
its error flow even though there is never a case where the error flow
occurs with a valid MR pointer to destroy.

Remove the clean_mr() call and the incorrect comment above it.

Fixes: b4cfe447d47b ("IB/mlx5: Implement on demand paging by adding
support for MMU notifiers")
