This patch fixes the kernel crash that occurs during ib_dealloc_device() called due to provider driver fails with an error after ib_alloc_device() and before it can register using ib_register_device(). This crashed seen in tha lab as below which can occur with any IB device which fails to perform its device initialization before invoking ib_register_device(). This patch avoids touching cache and port immutable structures if device is not yet initialized. It also releases related memory when cache and port immutable data structure initialization fails during register_device() state.
