I rewrote the commit message:

RDMA/core: Require the driver to set the IOVA correctly during rereg_mr

If the driver returns a new MR during rereg it has to fill it with the
IOVA from the proper source. If IB_MR_REREG_TRANS is set then the IOVA is
cmd.hca_va, otherwise the IOVA comes from the old MR. mlx5 for example has
two calls inside rereg_mr:

return create_real_mr(new_pd, umem, mr->ibmr.iova,
new_access_flags);
and
return create_real_mr(new_pd, new_umem, iova, new_access_flags);

Unconditionally overwriting the iova in the newly allocated MR will
corrupt the iova if the first path is used.

Remove the redundant initializations from ib_uverbs_rereg_mr().
