This is not a fix.

This would be useless backported in stable without the related
mlx4 and mlx5 changes. The related mlx4 and mlx5 patches are themselves
not marked as fixes and won't be backported.

I think I should be neither ack-ing nor nack-ing this change.
Could you propose it on its own, so that people ignoring fail-safe
related matters could look into it as well?

Here and for subsequent checks, there should be an explicit check
against zero instead of using unary !.
