I don't think that this is correct change. Somehow nvme-rdma works:
module_init(nvme_rdma_init_module);
-> nvme_rdma_init_module
 -> nvmf_register_transport(&nvme_rdma_transport);
  -> nvme_rdma_create_ctrl
   -> nvme_rdma_setup_ctrl
    -> nvme_rdma_configure_admin_queue
     -> nvme_rdma_alloc_queue
      -> rdma_create_id
