As far as I could see, all kernel consumers clear struct ib_qp_init_attr
before calling ib_create_qp() and for user space we clear this too. The
only hole is that rdma_create_qp() is exported and someone may be
calling this function without clearing struct ib_qp_init_attr. But I
think your approach is safer and should be used.
