Good catch.

I wonder if there's a way to make this depend on INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS
instead of INET, since that's the real dependency to get the rdma_*
symbols. However INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS is a bool that gets set to y iff
INET and INFINIBAND are set, so it's not trivial to make a tristate
depend on it.

Maybe this patch is fine as it is, since the Kconfig dependencies are
unlikely to change anyway...
