6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Serhat Kumral <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 8049741ac93acd3a590dac070e12571fddf0e294 ]

ucma_query_path() emits a path record only when the remaining output
buffer is strictly larger than struct ib_path_rec_data. A buffer sized
exactly for the response header and N complete records therefore gets
only N - 1 records, while resp->num_paths still advertises N. A caller
sizing its buffer for a single record gets a header claiming one path
and no path data at all.

ucma_query_ib_service() in the same file computes the record count with
a plain division and so accepts an exact fit; make ucma_query_path()
behave the same way.

Current librdmacm is unaffected because it always sizes the response for
six records while the kernel currently reports at most two paths. Other
users of the UAPI that provide an exactly sized buffer can observe the
truncated response.

Fixes: ac53b264b2f3 ("RDMA/ucma: Support querying when IB paths are not reversible")
