RDMA/siw: Fabricate a GID on tun and loopback devices
LOOPBACK and NONE (tunnel) devices have all-zero MAC addresses. Currently, siw_device_create() falls back to copying the IB device's name in those cases, because an all-zero MAC address breaks the RDMA core address resolution mechanism. However, at the point when siw_device_create() constructs a GID, the ib_device::name field is uninitialized, leaving the MAC address to remain in an all-zero state. Fabricate a random artificial GID for such devices, and ensure this artificial GID is returned for all device query operations.
