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

vdpa/mlx5: Fix invalid mr resource destroy

Certain error paths from mlx5vdpadevadd() can end up releasing mr resources which never got initialized in the first place.

This patch adds the missing check in mlx5vdpadestroymrresources() to block releasing non-initialized mr resources.

Reference trace:
