net/rds: restrict the rdma_cm ids to IB devices

RDS only has an IB transport, but it never tells the rdma_cm so.  The
listener created in rds_rdma_listen_init() is therefore installed on
every RDMA device in the system, including iWARP RNICs, and the id an
outgoing connection resolves through in rds_ib_conn_path_connect()
may be bound to whichever device the address resolution picks:
rds_ib_laddr_check() only vouched for the local address being served
by one of RDS's IB devices, while cma_acquire_dev_by_src_ip() walks
every RDMA device for the same address, so a software iWARP device
attached to the same netdev can win.  The event handler then runs
the IB transport's callbacks against a device that is not one.

The rdma_cm has an API for exactly this since commit a760e80e90
("RDMA/core: introduce rdma_restrict_node_type()").  Restrict all
three ids RDS creates - the listener, the per-connection id and the
probe id in rds_ib_laddr_check_cm() - to RDMA_NODE_IB_CA before they
are bound, so that the listener is only installed on IB devices, an
outgoing connection can only bind one, and the address check's bind
fails outright on anything else - which makes its explicit node_type
test dead, so it goes; the check that the bind produced a device at
all stays.

With that, no rdma_cm event reaches RDS's handler from a device it
has no transport for.  The handler itself still assumes IB: it assigns
its transport pointer only for RDMA_NODE_IB_CA and dereferences it
regardless, which is the crash that first surfaced this.  The fix for
that is a separate net patch, Aohan Mei's "net: rds: fix uninitialized
trans dereference in CM event handler", and is what stable kernels
without rdma_restrict_node_type() - which arrived in commit
a760e80e90 ("RDMA/core: introduce rdma_restrict_node_type()") - have
to take: this patch depends on that API, so stable trees need that
separate, minimal fix rather than a backport of this one.  The two
patches are independent and apply in either order.  The
listener has been on every RDMA device since the iWARP transport was
removed and left the ids unrestricted, hence the Fixes tag.
