When resolving an IP address that is on the host of the caller the
result from querying the routing table is the loopback device. This is
not a valid response, because it doesn't represent the RDMA device and
the port.
Therefore, callers need to check the resolved device and if it is a
loopback device find an alternative way to resolve it. To avoid this we
make sure that the response from rdma_resolve_ip() will not be the
loopback device.
While that, we fix an static checker warning about dereferencing an
unintitialized pointer using the same solution as in commit abeffce90c
("net/mlx5e: Fix a -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning") as a reference.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
