This moves siw and rxe to be virtual devices in the device tree: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 6 13:55 /sys/class/infiniband/rxe0 -> ../../devices/virtual/infiniband/rxe0/ Previously they were trying to parent themselves to the physical device of their attached netdev, which doesn't make alot of sense. My hope is this will solve some weird syzkaller hits related to sysfs as it could be possible that the parent of a netdev is another netdev, eg under bonding or some other syzkaller found netdev configuration. Nesting a ib_device under anything but a physical device is going to cause inconsistencies in sysfs during destructions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
