Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 3/4] crypto: qat - Return pointer directly in adf_ctl_alloc_resources

[ Upstream commit 5ce9891ea928208a915411ce8227f8c3e37e5ad9 ]

Returning values through arguments is confusing and that has
upset the compiler with the recent change to memdup_user:

../drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_ctl_drv.c: In function ‘adf_ctl_ioctl’:
../drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_ctl_drv.c:308:26: warning: ‘ctl_data’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Fix this by returning the pointer directly.
