Is it really very important? I thought the bound_dev_if of a passive
connection id is only used by the netlink statistics mechanism.
If you insist, I can set bound_dev_if based on the results of
cma_get_net_dev. That would cause the rdma_translate_ip call in
cma_translate_addr to exit early after calling rdma_copy_addr with the
chosen net_dev.
