How about moving this max_cbs error check in the upper level
callers(example in ntb_process_tx)?
That way you won't have to defer handling some negative cases all the
way till the end.

So ntb_process_tx could now look like:

.....
error=0;
if (entry->len > transport_mtu) {
...
error=1;
}
else if (qp->qp_num >= qp->ndev->max_cbs) {
...
error=1;
}

if (unlikely(error)) {
      ntb_list_add_tail(&qp->txc_lock, &entry->entry, &qp->txc);
      if (qp->tx_handler)
           qp->tx_handler(qp);

      return 0;
}
