Subject: IB/core: Fix oops in ib_cache_gid_set_default_gid

From: Doug Ledford <[email protected]>

commit f4e7de63ab273b6a5e35c82eb4fc6363c855ddd4 upstream.

When we fail to find the default gid index, we can't continue processing in this routine or else we will pass a negative index to later routines resulting in invalid memory access attempts and a kernel oops.
