Why?  Ethernet does not have an SA nor need one.

Of course not.  This flag is explicitly saying this port needs to use the IB
SA to resolve the route information.

cma_resolve_ib_route finds the route information by issuing an SA query.
Therefore it should only be called on ports which require an SA.

Was this change inspired by a bug being found?  If so it seems the underlying
device needs to be fixed to not set the RDMA_CORE_CAP_IB_SA flag when the link
layer is ethernet.
