CVE-2023-53286

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

RDMA/mlx5: Return the firmware result upon destroying QP/RQ

Previously when destroying a QP/RQ, the result of the firmware
destruction function was ignored and upper layers weren’t informed
about the failure.
Which in turn could lead to various problems since when upper layer
isn’t aware of the failure it continues its operation thinking that the
related QP/RQ was successfully destroyed while it actually wasn’t,
which could lead to the below kernel WARN.

Currently, we return the correct firmware destruction status to upper
layers which in case of the RQ would be mlx5_ib_destroy_wq() which
was already capable of handling RQ destruction failure or in case of
a QP to destroy_qp_common(), which now would actually warn upon qp
destruction failure.
