Subject: net/mlx5: Fix uninitialized variable bug in outlen_write()
Patch-mainline: v6.1-rc8
Git-commit: 3f5769a074c13d8f08455e40586600419e02a880
References: jsc#PED-1549
If sscanf() return 0, outlen is uninitialized and used in kzalloc(),
this is unexpected. We should return -EINVAL if the string is invalid.
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
