Subject: IB/mlx4: Don't duplicate the default RoCE GID

From: Moni Shoua <[email protected]>

commit f5c4834d9328c4ed9fe5dcbec6128d6da16db69a upstream.

When reading the IPv6 addresses from the net-device, make sure to
avoid adding a duplicate entry to the GID table because of equality
between the default GID we generate and the default IPv6 link-local
address of the device.

Fixes: acc4fccf4eff ("IB/mlx4: Make sure GID index 0 is always occupied")
