From: Dotan Barak <dot...@dev.mellanox.co.il>
rds_ibdev:ipaddr_list and rds_ibdev:conn_list are initialized
after allocation some resources such as protection domain.
If allocation of such resources fail, then these uninitialized
variables are accessed in rds_ib_dev_free() in failure path. This
can potentially crash the system. The code has been updated to
initialize these variables very early in the function.
