IPoIB permanently caches PRs with no mechanism in place to keep them in
sync with the SA. The goal is to limit the PR lifetime to prevent the
use of stale paths.
A side benefit of limiting the PR scope to a neighbour is that different
neighbours could use different paths, versus using a single path per DGID.
