Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

IB/mlx5: Fix UMR pd cleanup on error flow of driver init

The cited commit moves the pd allocation from function
mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() to a new function mlx5r_umr_cleanup().
So the fix in commit [1] is broken. In error flow, will hit panic [2].

Fix it by checking pd pointer to avoid panic if it is NULL;
