RDMA/uverbs: Propagate errors from rdma_lookup_get_uobject()

[ Upstream commit 81f8f7454ad9e0bf95efdec6542afdc9a6ab1e24 ]

Currently, the IB uverbs API calls uobj_get_uobj_read(), which in turn
uses the rdma_lookup_get_uobject() helper to retrieve user objects.
In case of failure, uobj_get_uobj_read() returns NULL, overriding the
error code from rdma_lookup_get_uobject(). The IB uverbs API then
translates this NULL to -EINVAL, masking the actual error and
complicating debugging. For example, applications calling ibv_modify_qp
that fails with EBUSY when retrieving the QP uobject will see the
overridden error code EINVAL instead, masking the actual error.

Furthermore, based on rdma-core commit:
"2a22f1ced5f3 ("Merge pull request #1568 from jakemoroni/master")"
Kernel's IB uverbs return values are either ignored and passed on as is
to application or overridden with other errnos in a few cases.

Thus, to improve error reporting and debuggability, propagate the
original error from rdma_lookup_get_uobject() instead of replacing it
with EINVAL.
