Fixing in v1 by having squashing ib_cache_gid_find to rdma_find_gid().

Alternative path is not in use, so once ib_ucm goes away, it won't be useful.

Currently gid attribute is based on the wc.grh on the rx path.
In future it can be extended to drop the sgid_attr of wc and acquire based out of path record by using

On requester side it comes from rdmacm.

It accepts only for those cases when sgid_attr doesn't exist, just like current code.

When I wrote this patch in Jan sgid_attr was in the path record.
You and Leon reviewed this that time and asked to take it out of the path record, because the way path record is used between ib_cm and rdma_cm was not so good.
So now it out of path record, likely for good reason.

So it is not as confusing as it sounds.
If attribute is provided, device and port are used from attribute.
If attribute is not provided, get_cm_port_from_path() finds it from the path record.
Logic to do so resides inside this function to not duplicate to its callers.
