Attempting an rds connection from the IP address of an IPoIB interface
to itself causes a kernel panic due to a BUG_ON() being triggered. Making
the test less strict allows rds-ping to work without crashing the machine.

A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the sytem.

Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches to learn how to properly
submit a change, in particular your patch submission was missing a
proper signoff.

Thanks for catching that. Resubmitting with proper signoff.

Thanks.
