Unfortunately, I've missed the issue I was complaining about in the
first place [1]. And I feel a bit guilty having missed the issue.

The present patch is fine as it fully disable the new extended 
QUERY_DEVICE uverb, but it doesn't disable the broken logic added in
ib_copy_to_udata() by commit 5a77abf9a97a ('IB/core: Add support for
extended query device caps'):

  diff --git a/include/rdma/ib_verbs.h b/include/rdma/ib_verbs.h
  index 470a011d6fa4..97a999f9e4d8 100644

   {

   }

That part of commit 5a77abf9a97a should be reverted as I'm not sure
it doesn't introduce regressions, especially difficult to notice ones.

Regards.
