Affected: Linux

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.
