We have different git hashes and I don't know about which commit you are

This commit simply renames exit/init functions in general header file.
The init/exit is still needed, because it is called from device.c.

The git log doesn't show me anything suspicious too.
➜  linux-rdma git:(topic/rdma-netlink-v1) git log -p include/rdma/rdma_netlink.h
