This series fixes a return-value bug in the transport domain allocation 
path and refactors the loopback enablement logic to resolve reference 
count leaks and premature hardware deactivation.

In v7, the patchset is split into two parts:
1. A direct fix for the return-value bug and mutex initialization.
2. A refactor of the loopback state machine to ensure symmetric counter 
   updates and correct hardware toggling at zero-count transitions.

The split allows for cleaner bisection and separates the immediate 
bug fixes from the lifecycle improvements identified during review.

  IB/mlx5: Fix success return path and mutex initialization
  IB/mlx5: Fix loopback refcounting leaks and premature disable

If you want this series to be taken seriously, please submit each new
revision as a new thread, rather than replying to a previous one.

Thanks

Hi Leon,

My apologies for the noise. I have resubmitted the series as a fresh v8 thread
as requested.

Thanks,
Prathamesh
