In query_port() we pass the address of a local pvrdma_port_attr

rdma_backend_query_port() wants a pointer to a struct ibv_port_attr,
and the two are not the same length.
Coverity spotted this (CID 1507146): pvrdma_port_attr is 48 bytes
long, and ibv_port_attr is 52 bytes, because it has a few extra
fields at the end.
Fortunately, all we do with the attrs struct after the call is to
read a few specific fields out of it which are all at the same
offsets in both structs, so we can simply make the local variable the
correct type. This also lets us drop the cast (which should have
been a bit of a warning flag that we were doing something wrong
here).
Fortunate but also kind of amusing :)

I don't know anything about the rdma code so this fix is based
purely on looking at the code, and is untested beyond just
make check/make check-avocado.
