The mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() function will attempt to call clean_mr() in
its error flow even though there is never a case where the error flow
occurs with a valid MR pointer to destroy.

Remove the clean_mr() call and the incorrect comment above it.

Fixes: b4cfe447d47b ("IB/mlx5: Implement on demand paging by adding
support for MMU notifiers")

A quick resend without spaces between the Fixes: line and the rest of the
signatures, per Or Gerlitz's request.
