<br />
The panic happens in hfi1_ipoib_txreq_deinit() because there is a NULL<br />
deref when hfi1_ipoib_netdev_dtor() is called in this error case.<br />
<br />
hfi1_ipoib_txreq_init() and hfi1_ipoib_rxq_init() are self unwinding so<br />
fix by adjusting the error paths accordingly.<br />
<br />
Other changes:<br />
- hfi1_ipoib_free_rdma_netdev() is deleted including the free_netdev()<br />
since the netdev core code deletes calls free_netdev()<br />
- The switch to the accelerated entrances is moved to the success path.
