Description
===========

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

net/mlx5e: nullify cq->dbg pointer in mlx5_debug_cq_remove()

Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it proceeds
to rest of destroy operations. mlx5_core_destroy_cq() could be called again
by user and cause additional call of mlx5_debug_cq_remove().
cq->dbg was not nullify in previous call and cause the crash.

Fix it by nullify cq->dbg pointer after removal.

Also proceed to destroy operations only if FW return 0
for MLX5_CMD_OP_DESTROY_CQ command.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
