[ofa-general] [PATCH] IB/ipoib: set neigh->dgid upon ipoib_neigh creation

If we fail to do that, there can be superfluous calls to
ipoib_neigh_free()/ipoib_neigh_alloc() due to the following if statement in
ipoib_start_xmit():

	if (unlikely((memcmp(&neigh->dgid.raw,
			     skb->dst->neighbour->ha + 4,
			     sizeof(union ib_gid))) ||

In the case of a unicast GID, it can happen until the path is resolved and is
not so severe. In the case of a multicast address, neigh->dgid is never even
updated, so the corresponding ipoib_neigh will be destroyed and created on
every multicast packet sent.
