[PATCH] prevent CVE-2012-2372 rds-ping causes kernel panic

If you use rds-ping of the local IP address of some Infiniband HCAs
(QLogic, possibly others) the machine will panic with a BUG_ON due to
an overly restrictive check.  Loosen the restriction a bit

This should have gotten sent a while ago (it was first noticed in
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803936
and patched in kernel-2.6.32-275.el6) but I got confused about its
embargo status and lost it.
