[ofa-general] [PATCH] IB/core: fix null pointer dereference in local_completions()

handle_outgoing_dr_smp() can queue a struct ib_mad_local_private *local
on the mad_agent_priv->local_work work queue with
local->mad_priv == NULL if device->process_mad() returns
IB_MAD_RESULT_SUCCESS | IB_MAD_RESULT_REPLY and
(!ib_response_mad(&mad_priv->mad.mad) ||
!mad_agent_priv->agent.recv_handler).
In this case, local_completions() will be called with
local->mad_priv == NULL. The code does check for this
case and skips calling recv_mad_agent->agent.recv_handler()
but recv == 0 so kmem_cache_free() is called with a
NULL pointer.
Also, since recv isn't reinitialized each time through the loop,
it can cause a memory leak if recv should have been zero.
