From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> resolved_dev returned might be NULL as ifindex is transient number. Ignoring NULL check of resolved_dev might crash the kernel. Therefore perform NULL check before accessing resolved_dev. Additionally rdma_resolve_ip_route() invokes addr_resolve() which performs check and address translation for loopback ifindex. Therefore, checking it again in rdma_resolve_ip_route() is not helpful. Therefore, the code is simplified to avoid IFF_LOOPBACK check.
