In the case of (attr->comp_mask & MLX5_CREATE_QP_EX2_COMP_MASK) being not
true, uuar_index gets set to resp.uuar_index, but nothing ever initializes
resp.uuar_index.

That said, both this case, and the true case, it looks like uuar_index
never gets assigned to anything but 0. In the true path, resp_ex gets
memset to 0, and then nothing ever sets uuar_index. Not sure what the
intended use was here, but ultimately, uuar_index is always going to be 0
with this patch (0 or undetermined garbage before).

Additionally, I'm not sure if the cmd and resp size parameters passed to
ibv_cmd_create_qp_ex() are correct, but they're at least larger than they
might be, which should be fine. I think. But I'm just guessing here.

Coverity actually still complains about this version, largely because it
thinks that perhaps the comp_mask could change between checks, and thus
you could still get an uninitialized resp. I'm reworking this one a bit to
solve this in a way that is cleaner.
