      RDMA/cm: Revert association of an RDMA device when binding to loopback · 8523c048
      Sean Hefty authored
      Revert the following change from commit 6f8372b6 ("RDMA/cm: fix
      loopback address support")
      
         The defined behavior of rdma_bind_addr is to associate an RDMA
         device with an rdma_cm_id, as long as the user specified a non-
         zero address.  (ie they weren't just trying to reserve a port)
         Currently, if the loopback address is passed to rdma_bind_addr,
         no device is associated with the rdma_cm_id.  Fix this.
      
      It turns out that important apps such as Open MPI depend on
      rdma_bind_addr() NOT associating any RDMA device when binding to a
      loopback address.  Open MPI is being updated to deal with this, but at
      least until a new Open MPI release is available, maintain the previous
      behavior: allow rdma_bind_addr() to succeed, but do not bind to a
      device.
