IPoIB netlink support was broken by commit cd565b4b51e5
("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks"),
that added flow which allocates netdev rdma structures
after netlink object is already created. Such situation leads
to crash in __ipoib_device_add, once trying to reuse netlink
device.
This commit restores the netlink support.

I assume this is going through DaveM's tree? In which case for the
drivers/infiniband part:

This looks like a necessary and correct change, but does it need to be
a seperate bug fix commit?
